A Beautiful Day

We had a bit of a scare today.  Steve found two lumps in his "upper leg area"  I took him to the doctor and thankfully they are just ingrown hairs!  Evidently it can be a genetic problem LOL  And they can be removed, Steve was just fine with them staying LOL!!
 
Sometimes when you have gone through bad things, you always expect the worse....I always expect the worse and this morning, I was really afraid.  I was kidding around with Steve but inside I was scared.  I had to remind myself that God was still in control even if there was something really wrong...but thankfully everything was ok:)
 
I got the results back from my mammogram and "things are fine, see you next year"   Good news!
 
This afternoon our nurse had an appointment so I had a few hours alone with Selah during the day time.  It was great.  I enjoyed being with her and her being awake!  When I'm with her at night, it's different, this was great, it wasn't too hot.  We went outside and she was so alert.  I'm leaning towards we may do the HBOT again....   I did finger and hand exercises then thought about clipping her nails, she moved her hand back from me so quick!  I loved it!
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 

 

 
 
Look at the sky!  Florida is beautiful!
 
 
 
 
 
I was going to try and answer some questions......
 
Yes Selah did have popsicles and things in her mouth in NY.  When we went to the "rehab" they no longer wanted to work with her like that and refused to.  I am not comfortable putting things in her mouth at home.  It could put the nurses in a hard situation since it has not been ordered by a doctor or therapist and Selah too if she aspirated anything.  We live so far out, that it just isnt' worth the risk .  We'd love to get her a good speech therapist to work with her on this...but haven't found one yet.
 
How does Selah show she doesn't like something.  She will FROWN up, and even cry with tears.  It's obvious when she doesn't like something and we are so thankful that she is able to show us!
 
So we are encouraged, Selah is moving her tongue and her neck/shoulders more each day.  All the nurses feel she is more alert....  The tongue thing is NEW...completely new so I feel good about that...  I know it's not a lot but it might take more to get her out of the state.
 
Please keep praying for her!!

  4. What's the holdup on finding a speech therapist? I would get someone, anyone. Who knows if she might be able to take something by mouth and that's the person who can work with her to determine it.
