Needles and Car Rides

(We are running out of decent titles for our posts)

On Monday Abigail had a visit to the lab for a blood draw and an in-home visit from ECI.  The lab visit went well considering they had to stick her twice.  She is such a tough little girl.  We have been there two times and each time an older kid in the next room is screaming bloody murder.  Abby, fortunately, finds her happy place with a pacifier dipped in sugar water and that consoles her fairly well. 

The ECI visit included a physical therapist who will help us come up with some goals for her to work toward.  She needs to make up for the lost time in the NICU.  Right now we are working with her on tummy time.  The PT showed us some ways to help strengthen her neck and we are trying those out.


Abby also made a trip to Dallas to visit Papa Mike in the hospital.  He is recovering well and has moved out of the ICU to a private room.  She has been back and forth across the metroplex often the past few weeks but thankfully she likes car rides and doesn't mind being in the carseat too much.

Looking cool
She made a visit to see Uncle Ryan at his work.
