Good news my friends!!

Today's trip to Salt Lake came with really good news.
Her first appointment was with her ophthalmologist. Her eyes look great, she still has a little astigmatism but there is no need for glasses at this time.  As long as the random watering of Braylees eyes are getting better then we can wait another 6 months to see if they need to be probed. Just have to keep an eye on them and make sure things are still improving.

Her second appointment was with her plastic surgeon for a check-up from her temple surgery in August.  Everything looks great.  He measured her head and that all still looks good, there haven't been any drastic changes, so that is good! She has two soft spots or what he called pulsing spots on the side of her forehead that we need to keep an eye on and make sure they close, which could take up to 18 months. He wants to see her back in 6 months and we will take more measurements to make sure everything is still going in the right direction.

It was a really great visit that resulted in no surgery dates being set so YAY for us!!!! Both of her doctors couldn't believe how much she had grown :-). Getting to be such a big girl!!!

Keep on keeping on!!!

Monday marked a month from when we got Braylee's casts off. It was a great day since we got to take her splints off! She is loving not having those in her way anymore.

She has been working with a occupational therapist every week and we are hoping to improve her fine motor skills.  As of right now her speech is still on track so we won't be doing speech therapy, at least for a little while.

She now has 2 teeth and is an eating machine!! She spends most of her day rocking away in her rocking chair "reading" a book or rocking her baby. :)  her little personality is really starting to shine through!

We head to Salt Lake City on Thursday for her August surgery check-up and to see her ophthalmologist. So hopefully everything is still on track with her eyes and we can have a nice break from doctors for awhile. :-)

Everyday we are thankful
Just hanging out reading a book
Such a happy girl
