Maybe our best gift yet!!


Christmas 2009...and yes, little miss Jess was spoiled liked every other year.  My sister just sent me some photos and I just had to post them.  I find myself looking at every picture that has been taken of Jessica since her treatment.  I still can't believe how straight she sits, with her legs crossed, even when she gets excited. 





Well, It's been over six weeks since Jessica's Treatment at the X-Cell Center.  There has been some small improvements (but HUGE in my eyes).  Definitely better sitting, seems to interact with her toys a lot more, can hold / pick up things better than before, more vocal and seems to try and mimic me with tone, gets on hands and knees, lifts one hand while on hands and knees to try and grab things, her level of sight is not just on the floor but looks up for things on tables.


It's funny...over the holidays I found myself asking my husband when was the last time she had reflux?  We couldn't remember!!!  I say funny because this was something that we dealt with on a daily basis  to the point where after she fed, we didn't move her for about 20 minutes so that she wouldn't reflux all over her clothing.  I can't believe I didn't notice when it stopped.  This daily occurence was frustrating especially when I was rushing around (because I'm usually LATE!) and she refluxed all over herself, so I had to change her which made me ever LATER!!  We've also noticed that she has BIG burps...DRY BURPS...NO REFLUX after the burp!!  I now can put her on the floor after a feed without her spitting up...AMAZING!

Once again this is VERY exciting and I find myself wishing for more.  Something I've NEVER done before.  To see her do things she's never done before is like Christmas everyday.  I say keep the "GIFT" coming.   This is one happy momma!
