How did two months go by…
Last post was quite a bit further back that I remember it being. Somehow, two months have slid on by. Kids have been busy, work has been busy. Douglas has grown into a little man. He asked me the other night why Sabrina was not around when he was little, I told him she had not been born yet. He asked if she was in mommies belly back then. I told him no not really. He then asked when she got packed in there. That’s my boy.
Sabrina has grown to around 15 lbs. now. She was 14lbs 7oz. back in mid April, so we must be around 15 now, shes in the 20th percentile, a bit small but still on the chart. She rolls around but not really over. Most of her motor-skills revolve around her pacifier. She’s like a ninja with that thing. She is eating baby food, she hates all oatmeal style baby cereals. Its hard to blame her, they taste terrible. She has been off all medication for months now without looking back. She has been to see both her doctor and her surgeon in the last month. Both are amazed by her progress which leads into our story for tonight.
Harry Potter was called the boy who lived. Sabrina can be called the girl who lived. We learned in the last few months that she was not expected to survive. We have been told she had one of the worth cases of hypertension they NICU had ever seen and that they expected her to still be in the hospital at her 6 month mark, not visiting her pediatricians office for her 6 month birthday check-up. They expected her to take most of the equipment she was on home with her. They expected her to never come home at all. She came home.
