Selah lifted her head by herself today 2x! She has just been so busy moving her head and sitting straight up. Sometimes her head will slump but she is picking it back up on her own. The nurse saw her do it first and Jon & I came in to talk to her and she did it for us! I think we scared her we were so loud!!!!! YEAH SELAH! Just like a baby, head control is very important. If she can gain full head control, that will be wonderful!
Selah and mommy
Daddy and Selah. She always responds to him
In spite of not feeling good, she is doing some great things physically. Lots of good movement, what the therapists call "purposeful movement" not just a jerk or a strange movement.
But after all this good stuff she had a small "storm" but she calmed down quickly. She is doing ok, for her situation. If we hadn't gone to our doctor yesterday and got her on antibiotics, we will be in the hospital today for sure! We will be so happy if we can get her through this at home and get her well!
Sam trying to crawl back in his crib after a big lunch LOL he is still all about taking an afternoon nap!
For lunch I cooked a big Mexican food meal, then begged Steve to go with me to Walmart as I had to get some big things and I didn't want to have to be picking all that stuff up. We stopped to get gas and saw a big tree frog on the front of my van! Evidently he had gone to Walmart with us. Steve helped me capture him and we evidently got him into a coffee cup (it was quite a production the frog was not cooperative with me trying to save his life!) and brought him back home so he can live out his days in my jasmine bush LOL
So keep praying for my little girl...thank you!
What a little trooper Selah is. From an outsiders point of view she is on her way to if not full recovery then very close. With God's help and you and your family's servanthood along with His gift to you of love it's an amazing saga.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to read that Selah is making purposeful movements. That is very encouraging!
ReplyDeleteWe've had two tree frogs do that to us lately and we must look so funny trying to get them off the car! My kids usually help out and the frog is usually very uncooperative. :-)
Praise God!! I'm so excited to hear of her improvments, especially while she's fighting off whatever she has right now. God is so good!
ReplyDeleteI hope that the lottery is your one vice and that the Zephyrhills winner is you. Just think how much the orphans of the world would benefit. OR maybe it's your good friend that won. Either way, I wish there is a way you could benefit from a little of that $$$.
