Bigger, Stronger, Smarter

Sweets is eating a lot better since the cast came off. She had actually gained weight rather that losing it while the cast was on. Since the cast has been off, she is continuing to gain weight well. 

She has been crawling around the house since the day after the cast came off, and yesterday she had built enough strength back up to pull up to a stand and even walk a bit with help! 

We met to see a wonderful specialist yesterday. She is reviewing Sweets' labs and x-rays and had a few new insights for us. We will gain a little more knowledge after our appointment with another specialist this coming Monday that we have heard great things about. So far almost all of her labs are looking good! That means doctors are narrowing down what they think might be going on.


While waiting to see the doctor, we looked out the 6th floor window spotting school buses, city buses, people walking, and dogs!

Just yesterday, Sweets pushed a chair up to the kitchen sink, crawled up and was reaching to turn on the water. Turn your head for one minute.... She's obviously getting her strength back.


She has been saying a lot of stuff lately that have us wondering
"How does she know how to say all that?"

And she's been singing a lot too. 
"Tinkle Tinkle lil-le stars, how I wonder what you are, up a world so high, like a diamond in the sky." 

Knowing her ABC's and 123's.

So cute.

Cast off day!

Today, we went to Children's Mercy to get the cast off! The x-ray looked great.
 

 We went to the lab for some labs for a specialist we will see in two weeks. Sweets is a happy girl, ten pounds lighter, and a little bit more mobile. She's may be a bit stiff and sore for a few days, but soon she'll be cruising.
