As you might have noticed we've stopped posting on here. If you have facebook we are now using a page on there for updates. Follow along if you want at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PrayforAbby" target="_blank">Pray for Abigail</a> . Abby will soon be listed for a liver transplant but is doing really well right now.

Yep, its been a while. Life gets in the way of blogging quite often. We have had a ton of great times since the last post and we will try to catch up. In August (yeah, we know and we acknowledge we are way behind) we took a family vacation to Gulf Shores, Alabama, a place none of us had previously been. Along for the road trip were Ryan, Brittany, Brittany's boyfriend Chris, Sherry and our crew of three. After a long drive from Arlington we hit the beach where Abby had her first encounter with SAND! After about ten minutes she figured out she pretty much hated it. She lasted long enough for the some good photo ops though.<br />

The girls favorite part was going to the "Little Zoo that Could" Gulf Coast Zoo in Gulf Shores. The had a lot of interaction with the animals which they loved. While the girls were at the zoo the guys took a quick drive across the border into Florida to play golf. Each group got back before they got soaked in the rain.<br />

We got out a few evenings to check out the area and had some quite a bit of seafood. The surrounding area of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach were great for what we were looking for; a little relaxation, some good family time, the beach, and some great memories.<br />

The clouds cleared for a while on our last full day and we had a chance to get more beach time in. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip out to the Gulf Coast and would love to make it a new family tradition.<br />

We headed to the Fort Worth food truck park one Saturday afternoon to see what all the fuss was about and we enjoyed ourselves and the new experience. We tried the Butcher's Son and then got some cupcakes from the Red Jett Sweets truck.<br />
<br />
Abby also had a good time riding along for errands like shopping - especially when they have fun carts to ride in.<br />

We celebrated Independence day at the Levitt Pavilion Tuesday night for live music and fireworks. After a late night, we still made it out to the parade in the morning then to a cookout in the afternoon. It was a short but sweet time spent with our little girl. <br />

been filled with just trying to keep up with what life has been throwing our
way. Obviously, much has occurred since our last post so we will try catch everyone up. In May we (Stephanie, Jody, Abby and Grammy) took a trip to Greenville, South Carolina to attend a wedding. We had a great time celebrating with our friends Josh and Katie Beth as they tied the knot. It was also a milestone for our big girl, her first flight! <br />

Josh was a brave soul and sat next to us for the ride since we ran into him at the airport. Abby did pretty well on the flight. Stephanie, however, did get to experience changing a diaper in an airplane bathroom which she doesn't recommend if you can help it.<br />

We made it a four day weekend so we could enjoy some of the Greenville sights and we were not disappointed. Having never been to that part of South Carolina we were unexpectedly impressed. The main street in downtown Greenville was quite lively and there was plenty to see and do. A river that runs through town and a curved suspension bridge help create great outdoor spaces. We had a good time exploring downtown and dining at a few good spots.<br />

A few weekends ago we headed up to Cook Children's once more. This
time though, it was for a great celebration. The NICU Reunion was being
held on the front lawn Sunday afternoon and we all headed up there to
say hello to the staff that cared for Abby. Pop (her granddad Joe),
Lolli (her grandmother Jane) and Grammy (grandmother Sherry) joined the
three of us to show off our little girl. They had live music and a few
booths for the older kiddos but we mostly gravitated to the shade. We
have mentioned it before, but it is great seeing the staff (and their families) who took such good care of Abby. I'm sure they find a great reward in seeing those who've they cared for as well. We were so glad to get to say hello to Dr. N and Alex as well as meet their families. Here's a few photos of the day...<br />

For a quick break from the heat we headed up to the new NICU wing and checked out the portrait of Abby & Jody on the wall. Paige Walker of <a href="http://www.paigewalkerphotography.com/" target="_blank">Paige Walker Photography</a> took the photo back when Abby was two months old and the day before her heart surgery. This was one of several great shots from that day and we appreciate her willingness to let Cook's use it near the entry of the new unit. What a reminder of God's grace! His grace is sufficient!<br />

Also, definitely check out a few more of our family portraits she recently took here at her blog -<a href="http://www.paigewalkerphotography.com/blog/tettletons/" target="_blank"> Family Portraits</a> .<br />
<br />
In addition to saying hello to old friends we finally were able to deliver the many donations we received for Abby's birthday to the right person. After a few attempts at getting them up there, we decided it was best to hand deliver them to the director of the NICU. We met up with her and loaded them up on a cart for her to get to the right place. So again, thanks to all who donated items. The families that find themselves in the NICU will be touched by your generosity.

That's all for now.

Time for another update. As usual we've been swamped and another month has gone by. Abby is now 14 months old and her personality shows more each day. We get a kick out of watching her discover new things. She is getting much more mobile and we love that but it does bring new dangers into the mix. We have to keep an extra watchful eye on her now as she motors around.<br />

We'll pick up where we left off with a bunch of pictures. In late March we took another trip back to Cook Children's to tour Stephanie's new workplace. Cook's expansion is massive and the Hemotoloty/Oncology & Bone Marrow Transplant addition was ready to move into. They let families of the staff come and tour the facility before they officially opened so we had a look around. This is where many kids battle for their lives.<br />

Stephanie loves what she does despite the emotional and physical toll it takes on her quite often. I am thankful for her heart for helping children and respect those in the nursing field tremendously.<br />
<br />
At the start of April we headed down I-35 to San Antonio to follow up with the Liver Specialist we have been seeing periodically. We met up with some of Stephanie's friends and had a good time visiting and catching up. <br />

Next we headed to the hotel for a nap and a swim. It was the second time Abby had gone for a swim. The last time she was teething and couldn't have cared less. This time though she was tentative at first then quickly found out that it was a lot of fun to splash. We look forward to taking her more often as the summer comes around. She enjoyed it so much that she wanted to get back in after we were ready to leave.<br />

We had fun the day before our appointment but the time came to go see the doctor and we never really know what to expect on these trips. We've been staying in touch with the GI doctor at Christus Santa Rosa in San Antonio as well as the GI doctor here in case Abby needed to be listed for a liver transplant any time soon. <br />

Thankfully this visit was a good one. Abby is doing great and does not need to come back for another year!
Everything we have seen indicates things are stable for now in terms of
her liver. Abby will need blood work done as the GI doctor we see here
recommends and hopefully things will keep trending up. We are of
course thrilled by this news. So we celebrated on the way home with some good food at "The Salt Lick". </div>

Things were getting pretty wild back in Arlington as we headed back.
Several tornadoes hit our area and many neighborhoods were torn up. I
am glad we took our time getting back that afternoon because it was
pretty scary just not being able to get in contact with family members
so I can't imagine being in the midst of it. Our home was just fine
when we got back. </div>

Another big deal occurred in our little world: At the beginning of April I (Jody) took a new job. I have joined a former colleague at his new architecture firm and look forward to what the future has in store for us. We have opened up a new office in Mansfield, Texas and we are Level 5 Design Group.<br />
<br />
So, to sum it all up, the Lord has blessed our little family immensely lately.<br />

After Abby's birthday she had her second trip to the hospital for ear tubes. One had come out and the doctor wanted to put a bit larger one in. Abby was a happy early riser for her tube replacement it was her shortest hospital visit yet. She was under gas anesthesia and didn't require intubation so she was back to her happy self later on that afternoon.<br />

Abby has been receiving occupational and physical therapy treatments in home since about the time she was released from the hospital. The non-profit organization that has provided that service for Abby at a discounted rate is called Early Childhood Intervention, (ECI) and they are government subsidized. Well, they have had their funding cut (no comment here) and Chris our great PT has moved on. We were very sad to see her go as we felt Abby was really making strides with her instruction and encouragement. We now make trips across town for her PT and it just doesn't feel quite the same. The safe environment of Abby "working" at home and the positive encouragement Chris provided will be sorely missed.<br />

Cook's opened their new NICU department, which was a massive addition,
in September. So some of the staff took us on a tour of the new areas. It is
very nice, not that we would want to experience any of that again, but
if we had to it would be much easier for everyone involved. The
patients and their families have all private rooms now and before we
were within a few feet of the next child. Trust me, moments shared with
a really sick kid are not meant for audiences. There were times that
we couldn't visit due to an emergency situation for another kid in the
unit and they would have to close the whole unit down for visitation. And for families that were from out of town I don't want to imagine how hard this was before.
Well, gone are those days and bright is the future of the fantastic new
facility.<br />

The second goal to deliver the donations was a failure for now. The unit director wanted to personally received the donations and we pretty much can't make it there during a week day when she is available. So, we didn't deliver the items yet but we will get them to her at the NICU reunion coming up.<br />

Can you believe it? We are feeling so blessed to be able to celebrate her life and how far she has come. She is so brave and has made such an impact on so many. <br />
<br />
This past weekend we had a party for Abigail at our home and it was a huge success. Our little house was full of friends and family who indulged us in this celebration. After all of the trials Abby has been through this year, it meant a great deal to have so many there to be a part of the joyous occasion. We are still beaming with pride! <br />
<br />
At the party we collected baby items from our guests to make a donation to the NICU at Cook Children's in Abby's honor. To the people who donated, thank you so much! It is a pretty crummy experience to have a newborn in the hospital and your contributions will help make things a little more comfortable to the babies and their families. We will be forever grateful for the care and comfort shown to us at Cook's. We will give an update when we deliver the donations.<br />

Abby's big present from her mommy and daddy was a new Radio Flyer wagon! She loved it! Daddy took her for a spin after the party was over.<br />

Then Abigail and our friend's Courtney and Audrey took a trip to the Ft. Worth Zoo. She had such a fun day! The weather has been great here the past few days and we have enjoyed getting out and about.<br />

Our little girl is doing well now and seems to be over her cold. The past few days she has been so active and is eating solids much better.
We will be making another trip up to the hospital Monday though. One of
the tubes in Abby's ear needs to be replaced which requires
anesthesia. It's not that big of a deal but we aren't looking forward
to it. <br />
<br />
It seems like a long time ago but, my goodness, life can change so much in a year. We have been richly blessed this past year and we look forward to what this coming year will bring. <br />

Alright, so we've been really busy with work and preparing for Abby's big day so we haven't posted in a while. We'll do an easy post for the time being and update everyone after her party when things settle down.<br />
<br />
For the time being though, let's take a look at how far she's come. The pictures below are of each month of Abigail's life.
It's easy to forget how rough those early days were but she is doing
great now. What a ride it has been and what a miracle we have been blessed with.<br />

We have been hesitant to get her out around other kids because it's cold and flu season so we have been somewhat isolated. She got over whatever bug she had at the first of the year and we aren't exactly ready to risk her getting sick again any time soon. At the same time, the weather the last few weeks has been unseasonably warm so we
have been able take her outdoors. We have
been taking Abby to the park down the road which is great because it isn't too busy with lots of kiddos. She seems to enjoy being outside and we try to get her out
of the house whenever we can.<br />
<br />
With all of her surgeries she has been behind in some areas of development and we are working to catch her up the best we can. She is currently doing well with sitting up on her own with no assistance, rolling over, and occasionally getting after solid foods when we attempt them. She has physical therapy once a week, an occupational therapist comes twice a month to help work on feeding, and a dietician comes once a month to check her growth. Abby is 11 months old now and she is currently 28-5/8" tall and 18lb and 6 oz. Her latest direct bilirubin level was 1 and that is fantastic. Her first birthday is coming up and we are really looking forward to celebrating her big day. Here are a few photos of the last few weeks.<br />

She was sick with congestion, a cough and some low grade fever for the first week or so. Not much help was to be had because the doctors office was closed for the holidays. She is finally getting over those symptoms and is returning more each day to her happy self.<br />

She was well enough this past weekend to take a trip to the Fort Worth Zoo for a while. The weather was a bit brisk but she did good. Neither of us had been in several years so it was a good time for us as well. The flamingos were Abigail's favorite because they were bright, loud and flapped their wings a bunch. She babbled to them and squawked back a little, which we got a kick out of. <br />

We hope to enjoy many more trips to the zoo but I'd say the first trip was pretty successful. We look forward to taking her in the warmer weather as well. It's so fun watching her discover new things.</div>

Abby is currently working on solids and still getting feeds
overnight through her g-button to help gain calories. We are trying to beef her up and get her back to working on developing strength in her arms and legs with tummy time and other activities. She has a mouthful of teeth and needs to put them to work.</div>

One thing that has been on our minds quite a lot lately is the passing of Abigail's Cardiologist. <span style="font-size: small;"><span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}">We received news last week that her heart doctor had passed away while riding
bikes with his son. His name was Dr. Benjamin Siu, he
comforted us as we faced very scary situations this past year and loved
our daughter. More importantly he prayed over Abby with us before her
heart surgery and on our follow up visits. They were the kind of prayers
you don't lift your head up from without tears. Our family was blessed
by knowing him and I thought I might let you all know so that you all
would say a prayer for his family. I didn't know him that well but I'm
certain where he is now. If you read his obituary <a href="http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/dfw/obituary.aspx?page=lifestory&pid=155363225" target="_blank"><b>here</b></a> or watch this video of him <a href="http://www.wfaa.com/news/local/Cardiologist-killed-in-bike-crash-left-a-worldwide-legacy-136855773.html" target="_blank"><b>here</b></a>, you can tell he touched many lives.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
As we finally got to put away Christmas decor and take down the lights
we can look back on Abby's first Christmas as super busy but incredibly
special. </div>

<b>A Reflection</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Our family had many ups and downs in 2011: The loss of a job, the joy of welcoming of a child which turned into a scary event, several life saving surgeries on our baby, the loss of a grandparent, bringing our daughter home, the health scare of a parent, getting to show off our pride and joy, watching her grow, getting a new job, and celebrating Christmas as a family of three. Ready or not though, 2012 is here, and we have to keep on trucking. As we reflect on the year it seems like it was pretty rough but the special moments truly were incredible. God is good, all the time. Thanks for sharing in this journey with us.</div>

Well, things have settled down a bit and we finally got the chance to give an update. Throughout all of the hustle and bustle we did manage to stop a few moments and enjoy sharing in Abigail's first Christmas. After a bit of trading Abby duties between each of us and our parents, we were able to get some last minute shopping in. The malls and traffic can seriously ruin the Christmas spirit if you don't watch out! <br />
<br />
The pace didn't stop because we had five different venues to open gifts. Thursday we opened gifts and shared a meal at home with Abby's Aunt Brittany and Granddad Pappa Mike. Next, we took Abigail to the Christmas Eve service with both sides of the family and spent Christmas Eve with Jody's family. The three of us had our own Christmas morning at our house and then drove to Abilene. Christmas afternoon and evening was spent with Stephanie's Grandparents and extended family. Finally we came home and opened gifts with Steph's family back in Arlington.<br />

While it seemed frantic and chaotic it worked out just fine. We find great joy in spending special moments like Christmas with Abby. As you can imagine she got some practice at opening presents. As her first birthday approaches she will need it.<br />
<br />

<br />
Health-wise, Abby is recovering well from her last surgery but still has moments where pain is evident. She will definitely let you know if she doesn't like how you are holding her and is getting a little partial to having her parents hold her. Abby is reaching, rolling, does crunches when laid on her back and loves to stand-up on her strong legs. Her arm strength is still lacking so she works hard to push up and look around. She was just released to start physical therapy again so we can get back to tummy time and working on those arms. She has a mouth full of teeth and we love watching her chomp into "Mum Mums." We are currently giving her formula and some solid foods to try to add some calories.<br />

Friday night we celebrated Stephanie's 30th Birthday at Southlake Town Square and ended the night at Cheesecake Factory. On Saturday we took a trip back to Cook Children's but this time not to get poked or prodded by doctors and nurses. It was fitting that Abigail meet Santa Clause where she has spent a lot of time in her short life. Abby did great as she sat in Santa's lap for the first time. She was very curious and reached up innocently to grab his beard.<br />

Abby is recovering fairly well from her surgery but occasionally has
pain issues when sitting up for a while or being held. They sent us
home with a mini do-nut like you get if you break your tailbone for her
to use as a cushion. We take lots of baths to keep her bottom clean and
she has a few follow-up doctors visits this week. <br />
<br />
Sunday we headed back over to Fort Worth for a Christmas Event at
Thistle Hill. The old home, now a museum, was decorated for Christmas
according to the illustrations in the Tasha Tudor version of Twas the
Night Before Christmas. Abby was probably a bit too young for some of
the activities but she and Stephanie made a b-line to the petting zoo.
The happiest kid in the pen was the thirty-year-old. Abby did pretty
well until a few goats tried to nip at her hat. Stephanie just about
put the goat in her jacket and snuck him out.<br />

Somehow during all of the craziness this week we managed to get our Christmas tree up and the lights on the house. We have much to be thankful for this Christmas and we are enjoying sharing this time with our family of three.<br />

We just got back from the hospital and are trying to settle in. Abigail was released this afternoon and we stopped off to get some prescriptions on our way home. The surgery on her bottom Monday morning was successful and she was recovering in her room by early afternoon. She had a short bout with pain right after she got back but it wasn't that bad in hindsight. She had a decent day Tuesday but by the time the anesthesia and strong pain medications wore off on Tuesday night, she was progressively getting worse. She started getting uncomfortable and would whimper, scratch her face, kick her legs and arch her back with ten/twenty minutes in between episodes.<br />
<br />
By the time Wednesday afternoon came around she continued to have these pain episodes with just a few seconds of down time in between. We were doing all we could do, which was very little. We couldn't pick her up, give her a bottle, or give her extra pain medication. It was excruciating to watch and not be able to help. Finally, the pain management team tried Ativan, and it calmed her. Someone came to the conclusion that it was probably muscle spasms and Ativan did the trick. She got some much needed rest and was allowed to have some pedialyte through her g-button shortly after.<br />

Thursday she was feeling better and was being weaned off of the stronger pain medications. Abby was also allowed to have formula which meant that she needed to get rid of all of what she was eating. Once she did that we were one step closer to going home. After a much better, but still tiresome night, we made it through Thursday. Friday afternoon the doctor came by came by and said she was ready to go home.<br />

We haven't posted in a while but things have been very busy lately. We have been out of town the last two weekends. With work, a holiday and doctor's appointments in between we are just trying to stay afloat. Abigail will be having surgery this Monday so today we have the duty of preparing her for surgery by putting her on a clear diet. It will be a huge challenge. Twenty-four hours with no solid foods or formula for a nine month old is a ridiculous request.<br />
<br />
Abigail has been doing really great lately. She is learning to eat solids, babbling, and learning many new things. It has been a joy to watch her learn and grow. For these and many other reasons we are not looking forward to another surgery. However, this surgery has been looming and the time is finally here.<br />
<br />
Abigail has to have a surgery on her bottom and it is best done before she begins to potty train. The surgery will be Monday morning at 9:00am and the same surgeon who has done two of her previous surgeries will be performing this one as well. The surgery should last 2-3 hours and the recovery time will be hopefully only a few days in the hospital.<br />
<br />
We hate that she has to have this right now but at the same time it needs to be done. No time sounds great for having surgery. We ask for your prayers as we try to make it to Monday. Tomorrow we will admit her to the hospital and continue cleaning out her system. We hope that everything goes well at nine on Monday and that Abby can recover swiftly.<br />

This past weekend we headed back down to the Texas Hill Country for a trip to Fredericksburg. Stephanie's friend Katherine, from nursing school, was getting married so we sped down 281 again to get there in time to catch game seven of the World Series. I probably should have just coasted in and enjoyed the ride but I tortured myself. Anyways, I won't write all about the Rangers but it was rough coming so close.<br />
<br />
We managed to have a good time even though I had a sour attitude to start the weekend with. My mom, Jane, accompanied us to help watch Abby during the wedding and to enjoy the sights. We visited the wildflower farm outside of town and then spent a few hours in town before the wedding. We really enjoy the area and the weather was great last weekend. <br />

The weekend wasn't over when we got home either. Our church was having a fall festival and we made it back in time to bring our big girl to it. Abby was a ladybug this year and she did great in that stuffy costume. We had the most fun watching her response to all of the animals at the petting zoo.<br />

All in all, it was a great weekend despite the sports disasters (Tech got trounced too). We got Abby all cleaned up Sunday night and ready for another week. Our big girl is eight months old and doing great.<br />

We got back this past week from another trip to San Antonio for Abby's three month follow up visit with the liver transplant folks. We also did a little sight-seeing while we were there. The hospital is in the downtown area so we stayed close by and our hotel was directly across the street from the Alamo (hotel pictured in background - The Emily Morgan).<br />

On the way there we stopped at a little mom 'n' pop restaurant and Abby got to try mashed potatoes for the first time! As soon as the lady put the plate down she smashed her hand right in them. Thankfully they were not too hot.<br />

We took some time to walk around and take a few pictures near the Alamo. It was just as we remembered it - extremely underwhelming. It is hard to believe such a significant place doesn't make a very big impact in person. </div>

When we got to the appointment the doctor was in a meeting. A long meeting. So that meant a little extra play time in a tiny room. She was a good sport, so it really wasn't too bad.<br />

Overall, the trip was fine but we didn't have much to report until the blood work was complete.<br />
Today we received those results and are happy to report that her direct bilirubin was 1.1 and her total bilirubin was 1.5. <b>So great. So wonderful. So amazing. </b>Her levels have never been that low. The doctor gave us the ok to see him in 6 months. That means we will go back at the end of March. Until then we will do our best to keep her as healthy as possible. We are so pleased to be able to give everyone a good report.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02239474295171125992noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22462213.post-36710205345770861122011-10-21T21:49:00.000-07:002011-10-21T21:53:48.488-07:00A Great Day!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>This past weekend our family enjoyed a very special time at our church's baby dedication service. Many relatives came in town to show their support and the day went really well. Abigail and about six other kiddos were dedicated in the 9:30 service as well as several babies in the other two services. The pastor said a brief word, the congregation said a verse of encouragement, and then he came down the row and said a word to each of us. It was a moment that we had looked forward to for several months. While <br />
Abby was in the hospital we received invitations for the spring and summer dedications and those weren't an option for her. The struggles and setbacks early in her life made sharing that moment with our family members, church family and our precious girl Sunday that much more joyous.<br />
<br />

Abby did great throughout the short time up at the front, it was us that had a hard time trying to hold it together. The promise to raise our child up in a faithful and loving family was not one we take lightly. We know that HE will be with us every step of the way as we try to teach, encourage, and love on Abby.<br />

Another incredible moment occurred after the service had ended. We were waiting for the rest of the group in the lobby and a women came up to us and asked if she could pray for Abby. We said sure and the woman, named Susie, prayed for Abby. She asked god to walk with her as she became a godly woman and I can't begin to describe how special this was. If you've ever had some one say a good prayer for you, you understand this feeling - it was powerful.<br />
<br />
We took pictures with family members and headed to share a meal with everyone after the service. It was a great celebration and Abigail did so well being passed around and photographed so much. She is loved by many for sure.<br />

</tbody></table>Thanks to Karen Jo Matsler for taking pictures for us during the service and afterwards. It was a memorable moment and we are glad it was captured. <br />
<br />
<br />
As I reflect about last Sunday and Abigail's life, I keep thinking of a song by Shane & Shane. It's called "The One You Need" and if you are a parent/or even if you aren't the message is significant and very fitting. Here is the link- <b style="color: red;"><a href="http://shaneandshane.com/#%21/ss:facebook">ShaneandShane</a></b>. The video is a tad bit distracting but don't miss the point: As much as we love our children, we hope that they will seek a relationship with the lord. Because HE loves them/us immeasurably more.<br />
<br />
Next week we are headed to San Antonio again for a check-up with the liver specialist. We aren't certain what all they will want to check on but we are hopeful that they will give us a good report and send us on our way. We hope to fill you in on Abby sooner that last time. Tomorrow Abigail will be 8 months old! Holy Moly, that was fast.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02239474295171125992noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22462213.post-38108397105181691752011-10-06T21:54:00.000-07:002011-10-06T21:54:57.814-07:00Doing Just FineWe've been too busy to blog lately but much has happened since the last entry. Both of us working and figuring out how to manage the change has kept us from writing. Sorry about that.<br />
<br />
My parents have been taking care of Abigail on days when Stephanie worked the night before. So far that has worked out great. I drop her off in the morning and Stephanie comes to get her in the afternoon after some much needed sleep. It has been fairly manageable and we are really thankful they are available to take care of her. <br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures of the last few weeks.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Abigail turned seven months old last month and she is now 15 pounds 8 ounces and 26-3/8 inches long. She is growing well, learning to eat solids, working on sitting up, and getting a mouthful of teeth. She is pretty stinkin' cute too! Hopefully we won't let as much time pass until the next post but I'm not promising anything.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02239474295171125992noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22462213.post-58176841201924467892011-09-17T01:27:00.000-07:002011-09-17T01:27:23.413-07:00Good News!We got a few really great phone calls this week! <br />
<br />
Frequent calls concerning Abigail's health are not uncommon and they are always a bit nerve racking. The calls are anything from doctor's appointment reminders to important test results and they all pretty much come from out of the blue. While Abby was in the hospital unfamiliar phone numbers on the caller ID brought a great deal of anxiety. The calls are less frequent now but still put us on edge a bit.<br />
<br />
Call number one happened while we were out to lunch earlier this week. <br />
<br />
"Hello. Yes, this is Stephanie. Uh huh, yes I'm a nurse, I am familiar with those. Ohhh, wow!"<br />
<br />
That's what I heard sitting across from her at the table. Not comforting. Then her face revealed what the nurse on the other end of the line called to tell us. Her latest labs showed that her direct bilirubin level had dropped to <span style="font-size: large;"><b>1.5</b></span>! <br />

</tbody></table>It was a different nurse than we usually deal with so Steph wasn't sure what she wanted at first. The GI specialist had asked her to call and tell us the good news. That is the lowest her bilirubin level has been since she was about a week old. A sign that the Kasai procedure is really doing well. We were pretty stunned and thrilled. Truthfully we never expected it to be much better than what it had been. Three to Four was where it remained steadily for the last few months.<br />

If you are wondering what that all means. It means Abby's liver is functioning much better than it had been. Back when she had surgery on her liver, <b><a href="http://stephandjody.blogspot.com/2011/03/abigail-surgery-day.html"><b><span style="color: red;">Abigail - Surgery Day</span></b></a> </b>and <span style="font-size: small;"><b><a href="http://stephandjody.blogspot.com/2011/03/liver-problems.html" style="color: red;">Liver Problems</a></b></span><a href="http://stephandjody.blogspot.com/2011/03/abigail-surgery-day.html"><b><span style="color: red;"></span></b></a>, her bilirubin level was as high as 17. So, that's pretty incredible! Right? Hopefully it will be a long time before she needs a liver transplant.<br />
<br />
As if that wasn't enough good news. I (Jody) had an interview Thursday afternoon and got a call Friday about the position. I will start Monday morning and I am looking forward to the challenge.<br />
<br />
I have been hesitant to mention my job hunt on this blog because it has been pretty rough times for many people lately. Frankly it has sucked. The architecture field was no exception. I was laid off about ten days before Abigail was born and have been looking for a job since that time. <br />
<br />
Little did we know how important it was for me to be available to be around with Abigail and Stephanie. We got to spend the entire time she was in the hospital by her side and that was truly special. I know because I saw countless people that came to visit their sick children after working a full day. We were very fortunate and we had many people helping to make that not so stressful financially. So thank you if you were one of them. <br />
<br />
Stephanie, though, had spent all of her maternity leave and had to go back to work right when Abigail was released to go home. It was especially difficult for her but she headed back to work and supported our family. I am very proud of her! Her job is not easy. It's physically and often emotionally taxing on top of taking care of us.<br />

I have been the stay-at-home dad and that has been tough but really special at the same time. Taking care of Abby (as I'm sure any other child) is a full-time job. I am eager to get back to work but I will miss spending the day with my little girl for sure.<br />

As things get even more busy in our lives we will do our best to share with you.

Friday morning Abby had a follow-up appointment with the Ear Doctor (Otolaryngologist, pronounce it really slow and you might get it) Friday morning bright and early. Our friend Lindi is an Audiologist in the same office and she always helps us out. She gave us some earplugs so Abby could go swimming.<br />

</tbody></table>Next, we headed to the pharmacy to get the medication for her liver. We have to jump through hoops with insurance to get it every month and its a beating.<br />
<br />
After the pharmacy trip we headed home to pack things up and pick up Grammy. Grammy accompanied us and helped out with baby duty often. Once we got home from the blood draw Abby had a huge fit. She has a third tooth coming in and I think it was causing the problem. We finally got out the door and five hours later we made it to Lubbock. It made for a really long day.<br />
<br />
In case we haven't already mentioned it a dozen times on this blog, we love Texas Tech! We purchased a mini pack this year and headed out there to watch the opening game of football season. Also, Abby's Uncle Ryan goes to school there now and it makes for a good excuse to visit. <br />
<br />
We ended up staying at the same hotel the team did which was cool. We watched them go through some walk-throughs in the morning and it explained why we saw about 100 pizzas arriving when we checked in.<br />
<br />

The hotel had an indoor pool so we took Abby to the pool for the first time. She was much more interested in working on that new tooth than swimming but we got a kick out of it. She did well in the water.<br />

The weather was hot for Abigail's first Red Raider game. Our seats were in the shade so it wasn't bad at all. The first half of action was not that hot. We were losing to Texas State who isn't that good. As the second quarter of the game got going the wind really began to pick up and a huge dust storm blew through. That isn't uncommon in Lubbock but we went below the stands and watched the game on TV for a while. We thought it was going to rain so we ended up leaving around halftime. It didn't end up raining until way later that night but oh well. We got her to bed at a decent hour and the Red Raiders came on strong in the second half. Game number one for Abby will be considered a success.<br />

Abigail did great in her carrier and we were surprised to see many more infants at the game. Really, we thought we were the only idiots taking our child out to a really loud environment. Abby had her earplugs in and didn't seem to mind the atmosphere.<br />

</tbody></table>After breakfast with a friend and stopping by the great-grandparents house, we finally made it back home safely. The trip was hectic with a six month old but we managed to have a little fun. It was a trial run for another big game we'll go to later in the season and now we know what to expect.<br />

</tbody></table>Abigail turned six months old on the 21st. Wow! To god be the glory, great things he hath done.<br />
<br />
We have been busy with doctors appointments and a home construction project, see <span style="color: blue; font-size: small;"><b><a href="http://stephandjody.blogspot.com/2011/08/are-you-kidding-me.html">We Must Protect This House!</a></b></span>, so we haven't had much time to update the blog lately. We extended our backyard, put a gate across our driveway and built a moat to secure the place. Well only a few of those are true.<br />
<br />
Yesterday Abby had her six month shots and also had a visit to the cardiologist. We got great news on both visits. Her heart is doing great <b>AND</b> the MRI from a week ago showed<b> NO ISSUES</b> with a tethered cord or any other problems. We are so relieved! <b>Praise the Lord!</b><br />

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"></div>Today Abigail took a trip to the GI doctor for a follow up appointment. We meet with a nutritionist and they answered some of our questions about starting solid foods. The GI doctor said we were doing great! He has stayed in contact with the doctor in San Antonio and they are both happy with her progress. He also said to go ahead with solid foods.<br />
<br />

So we headed off to Baby's-R-Us and got a high chair and some level one solid foods. Abigail did great with the carrots we tried today and made sure to get them all over her face! It was a great first effort and we hope it continues. Many kiddos that deal with surgeries early on have an oral aversion so we hope she keeps up the good work! <br />

We answered the normal questions about things like allergies and medical history. They had us stop feeding her Friday morning at five and go to pedialyte until nine where she would be NPO.<br />

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"></div>On our way out we stopped by the NICU to say hello to all of the good folks there. It was great to see everyone including her neonatologists. It was pretty emotional walking in there but we were getting to show her off not come to visit her. Seeing the reaction of the doctors and nurses was also great (Alex we were sad we missed you). Happy moments like these are a great reminder of how far she has come.<br />

</tbody></table>Abby's MRI Friday was scheduled at noon and we arrived at 10:30am. At 1:30pm she had gone into a trance from being so hungry. They finally told us that she would be getting the ear stuff taken care of first and then get the MRI. She was taken back and put under anesthesia shortly after and about 2:30pm or 3:00pm the doctor came out and told us that she did have fluid in her ears, it was clear (not infected) and that he put in the smallest tubes that they had. Next, Abigail went for an MRI, still under anesthesia, followed by a ABR (hearing test). The hearing test, which we were nervous about because of the drugs she was given in the NICU, showed <b>normal hearing</b>. Hallelujah!<br />
<br />
The MRI she had was to check to see if Abigail has a tethered cord. This sometimes occurs along with the issue she has with her bottom that is called imperforate anus. A tethered cord means that nerves wrap around the base of the spinal cord. The tethered cord can cause a myriad of problems down the road in development. We have to wait a few days before we hear back from our doctor who ordered the MRI. A radiologist will read and relay the information to their office. Of course we are worried but we will wait and see what the MRI reveals and go from there.<br />
