Night at Ravinia














Mike and I have always enjoyed spending summer evenings at this beautiful outdoor venue. And while children are welcome we hadn't yet got up the courage to brave the hour long car ride and the potential fussiness that may follow. She handled it great, though. Ahhh ...a cool night with minimal crowds spent sipping a glass of red and listing to a world class pianist while Maryn snoozed on the blanket. What a perfect way to start off the holiday weekend.

Neuro Follow Up













Maryn had her 3rd appointment with the pediatric neurologist this morning. The Dr did a thorough evaluation and found her to be progressing normally. She was alert and happy at the appointment and performed each task he asked of her. He is comfortable with our decision regarding the g-tube as long as she continues to gain and he was pleased to hear she is still meeting with a physical therapist weekly. She'll return for another follow-up appointment just before her 1st birthday.

Happy B-Day Uncle Kirk

Sweet Pea & Potatoes

Solid foods are now on the menu! And while she is making progress it seems to be more of a kind of art performance in body, clothing and floor painting than one of nutritional sustenance. Sometime in the near future more of the food will make it to her stomach, I hope. She could certainly use the extra calories.
