I love my baby sista!
Well, another week home is almost coming to an end and we are definitely settled in. Gwynny has been bugging me like crazy to hold her sister so I thought it would be cute to take their pictures with their almost matching jammies. Gwynny was just happy to be able to hold her. Liliana really loves Gwynny! She knows who she is and she looks at her when she talks to her and smiles a lot. It's so adorable! We had our first OT and Speech sessions this week as well as our 3rd PT session. Liliana is doing well. Obviously she has a long ways to go, but she is making small improvements each week. She actually spent about 5 minutes on her tummy yesterday which is great considering she hates to be on her tummy! I think a lot of my insecurities about everything are starting to go away as I see how she is doing and I am beginning to feel more comfortable with her care at home. She also ate some cereal and stage 2 baby food really well when the OT person was here, which prior to that she was very sloppy and not too interested in it when I tried to get her to eat. I told her she was putting on a show for her. LOL! Isn't that always the case. The speech therapist wants me to try feeding her something cold because she said that it helps trigger the swallow reflex. She gave me some of those nasty lemon swabs to use on her lips and in her mouth to help get her to swallow. She had me put them in the freezer that way it is kind of like a mini popsicle. Yuck! Anyways, I gotta run we have to go down to main campus at the clinic today for a gastro appointment. I will let you all know how that panned out later. Chow!

The picture of the two girls is so sweet! I'm glad Liliana is showing you what she can do. She's amazing!
I'm so glad to hear that Liliana is starting to receive therapy. The therapists sound like they are on the ball with her care, which has to be very comforting. Good luck with those lemon popsicles though, they sound, umm...yummy. haha
