On a serious note...

Hi Abby Fans,

You'd think that because I'm between jobs that I would have all this time right? Nope! I am now tackling that never ending "honey do" list and man is it long. I am happy to be able to tag along to a few of Abby's appointments though. In a few minutes we're off to her feeding and occupational therapy appointments. Last week I was able to go with Kelly and Abby to see Abby's neurosurgeon.
I am afraid that we're going to have another surgery. Abby has another cyst in her head. Remember that at birth she had a grade IV brain bleed and as a result has hydrocephalus which is when the fluid from the brain can't escape. The shunt is in place to drain that fluid but sometimes these other puddles, or cysts show up during the first few years of life. So our doctor has to literally go into that puddle and poke a hole in the floor of it so it drains out to where to the shunt it so it can drain out. Sounds easy, but this is in fact brain surgery. Another brain surgery. And... it's right before her birthday.
Luckily the cyst hasn't caused her any discomfort as of now and she is still the same happy Abby. She weighs over 13 lbs now! She is eating very well and really likes all the stage 2 foods. She loves prunes and applesauce, she loves the apples and chicken combo (weird), and of course she's a huge fan of the macaroni and cheese.
Please keep Abby in your prayers and I'll keep you all posted regarding the surgery which is in mid April. And we were just getting through RSV Season too and were getting so excited to parade our Little Miss Magic all around town. Abby will come through shining like always though.
Mommy is doing well with the pregnancy...all is well....

I have to go! We're late!

Enjoy the pics...

Uh Oh! Abby loves the red vines!
