Grr; So..Alannah is; once again on another antibiotic, Obviously the "cellulitus" ended up sticking around and turning into puesnamonus.*Usually seen as a respiratory infection; but we were lucky enough to have it as a skin bacterial infection. YAY us! NOT-My poor girl is in SO much pain; and did I mention this thing looks GROTESQUE. (lol) And of course; on Memorial Day weekend, I spent my Sunday fighting with Walgreen's pharmacy, and Alannah's insurance about approving what just so happens to be the ONLY dang medicine that'll kill this germ..Took about 4 hours; We WON.
We've finally cut half our bottom teeth; now awaiting the other side and some top teeth -I myself am cutting my wisdom teeth *Sympathy please? ;) NOT fun for either of us.
Thursday Alannah received her Stander and new Stroller! I've been telling her about her stander for about 2 weeks now. She was SO excited to get fitted for it; and then when she stood up for the FIRST time EVER; The look on her face was priceless. Brought tears to my eyes. She lite completely up; smiled ear to ear, looked around at everything. And then she locked eyes with me and her dad; as if she were saying "Look mommy, Look daddy; I'm doing it. I'm standing up all by myself!" I loved that moment.
The head support of her stroller was a little off; so Troy is going to tweek it a bit; and bring it back sometime this week just in time for our Zoo Trip Friday! By the way...She HATES the stroller.
Friday; Doctors...they "tortured" her like always..(Joking)But I had them culture her G-tube that day - Got the results Sunday. Our weight is now 22lbs 4 oz. (Starting Tolerex this week. Wish us luck!)
Saturday was our lunch date with Amy Blakeburn; an old friend of mine. Our last lunch date was when Alannah was first diagnosed. We weren't able to have another one until now because Alannah got really sick in November. We went to Applebees. And let me remind EVERYONE; My child seriously has a sports addiction. She did really good in public too; was good at the table, didn't give other people dirty looks (Which is her new usual thing..shes a sassy butt) Then once 4o'clock rolled around, Lannah was ready for a nap. I gave her her blankey, and she tried to go to sleep; except she had an issue. I hear "Mmm, Mmm!" I said " what Lannah" and she points at the lights... It was "Too Bright" in there for Princess Lanners. Too funny!
Alannah got to go to her FIRST Graduation Party Sunday as well. (Congrats Emily Cusick!) And even though she slept the entire time; She still received just about as much attention as if she were awake! :)
Alannah got to spend some time with her Grandma, Papa, and Aunt Cassidy this weekend as well. And we rented her Happy Feet 2. She didn't want to come home Saturday, she wanted to stay with Nana and Papa, she was SOO MAD when I put her in the car. :( Sorry pumpkin; over nights aren't allowed!
Today; Today is Memorial Day. We spent the entire day at Grandma Sharon's. Alannah got to see all of her cousins. And she actually was nice to all of them as well. She spent sometime inside; cuddled with her Uncle Anthony; and watched a handful amount of Dora; and held all of her cousin's hands. (Usually she's mean to them and cries and yells.)
Lanners has been in bed since 8:45PM; due to NO NAP. And before I can end this blog. I want ALL of my readers to say a nice long prayer; A sweet prayer, one that endures; LOVE, STRENGTH, FAITH, And REASSURANCE.
Alannah and I have made a NEW Friend :)
Her name is Ella Hunt; Ella just reached her 9 Month Birthday; and has been battling a respiratory problem at home for a little over a week. Earlier this week, things got a little crazy; and she ended up in the ER; where she was treated, sent home, and ended up back in the hospital later that night. Ella was shortly intubated later on that day/early AM; because she needed to rest and have an easier time maintaining her SATS. Yesterday afternoon; they were able to extubate Ella very successfully, but was having a rough time with treatments that evening. And is still having a bit of a rough time today. Please help Ella gain strength; see love; and give her parents faith and hope in all of the miracles of God; Ella reminds me soo much of Alannah; She's such a gorgeous little peanut. Love you Ella!
(If I can edit this; I'll post pictures of Alannah this week, and a picture of Ella!-- some reason I can't upload any tonight)
