Well, we survived the Christmas season with all it’s hustle and bustle, and commercialism, and we hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Natalie has been doing pretty well so far, with the new medicine to control her seizures, although, at the time of this update she is in the hospital being checked for severe constipation and other issues.
We have been doing well with keeping up on Natalie’s busy schedule, and she really enjoyed being able to get back to school after the holiday break! She really lights up and smiles when she knows she is seeing her friends and getting to play. She even gets in trouble at school for laughing when the other kids get in trouble!
Natalie is really enjoying being around Phoebe when at home, and really watches her move around, and smiles when she gets fussy and cries. We think there is some jealousy going on however, because when we hold Phoebe for her night time bottle, Natalie usually gets fussy, and quiets down when we hold her too. That is getting to be an adventure in it’s own because she is almost 50 pounds!
We thank all of you for your prayers and support during this holiday season, and hospital stay and hope to keep further updates coming along more quickly!
