Abigail turned five months old yesterday! She's kind of a big deal. Having been discharged from the hospital at three months old she has now been at home with us for two months. She gives us a run for our money sometimes but she can totally melt your heart with one of these smiles.

Wednesday we went to the E-N-T and set up a time for Abby to have a hearing test. After an unsuccessful attempt a month ago with a hearing test, they prefer she have the test done while under anesthesia. Abby has an MRI scheduled in early August so they can combine the hearing test and MRI while she is under. They also will be looking for fluid, removing it as necessary, and possibly putting tubes in her ear that day. If there is hearing loss we will discuss the options with the doctors. We pray that she doesn't have one more thing like that to overcome.
Here is Abby at five months...

We will head off to San Antonio this week for Abigail to be evaluated by a liver specialist. If Abigail will need a liver transplant this will be the place it is done. Therefore, we are making some early connections should we need to get on a donor list in a hurry someday. It will be her first night away from home and we will find out how difficult traveling with an infant is. How does the pack-n-play fit back into its bag? We'll give an update on the visit when we return.
Abby also got a visit from the Blankenship family last week. Ben, Hannah and Emily have been praying for Abby and finally got to meet her. She was pretty fussy at the time so they were a little shy. Crying babies are pretty scary even for grown-ups though. Thanks to everyone for praying for our little girl. We can't tell you how much that means to us.
