My Tiny Valentine

My sweet, cuddly, tiny Valentine...

She looks like such a big girl in this picture, we were working on sitting unassisted here.

This is how SK looks at me when we have been working on sitting unassisted for too long, isn't that hilarious?  Oh my, I don't even want to know the words that go along with that look.

We have officially completed 3 days on Prevacid (SK's reflux med) now and Sophie has actually done pretty good on it so far.  Thursday and Friday of last week were definitely her worst days, Saturday and Sunday were better for her.  It's also been a few days since she has thrown up although we are not anywhere near the amount of food that she needs to be getting.  We are taking it very slow with her right now.  She is losing some weight but it is minor at this point and we are increasing her food everyday trying to get her back up to the goal for her caloric needs.

SK is definitely weak and tired given what she's been through over the past few weeks.  She's not been herself lately and we have not been able to accomplish much through therapy, which is particularly frustrating to me.  We haven"t even been able to try oral feedings yet after all of our success at the feeding clinic last week b/c of all this mess.   Hopefully the Prevacid will continue to work for Sophie Kate so that we can get her back on track.  There is more therapy and another doctor's appt. still to come this week, we'll see if anyone has anything new to contribute and hopefully I can find some time to spend w/my 4 guys.  Thanks for checking in on us.
