The eye doctor visit went well this week. The hemorrage does not seem to indicate that anything is leading towards retinal detachment - which we are extremely excited about. It is still there but has spread out, allowing the doctors to be able to look under it to be sure. Both girls will be going back to the doctor (along with their other clinic appointments) in July. Cameron's next appointment is June 16 for all of her hearing aid stuff. I am so thankful to have been turned on to a free resource for parent education for parents of hearing impaired children. I am in the process of signing Seth and I up for a distance learning course.
The girls are doing well. We are still having the ups and downs - good days and bad days...but all babies have those - ours are just times 2! They are wiggling and squirming like crazy and both girls are now cooing and interacting with you - those are the most joyful times of the day! Reagan is working hard on rolling - she wants to so bad - you can almost see it on her face. Meanwhile, Cameron would rather try to stand (even though we have been given strict orders to not allow her to do that from the physical therapist so we do our best to keep her from doing so). Both girls love their swings and love their play gyms...most of the time. But most of all they love Aubrey. She can bring smiles that none of us can get. She loves to come up and say "tickle, tickle" and the girls just smile so big for her. They all love each other very much!

ReplyDeleteThat sounds so familiar re. Aubrey and the girls. Jessie can turn the smiles on by just walking up. It is so much fun to see that bond. Don't those moments just make you melt. So glad re. the eye news. Know these appts. keep you guys on the road but hopefully one of these days they will be fewer. My thoughts and prayers remain with you.
ReplyDeletewhy were you given orders from the PT to not let Cameron stand? whats the big deal with it? i am so glad everything else went good. you guys are always in my prayers!!!
ReplyDeleteHiya, Me again, Marilyn, Social worker and advocate for the Deaf and Deaf-Blind locally and nationally... I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE following these wonderful BLOG.. Thanks so much for sharing!! Two questions, is the PT specialist telling you to not allow them to jump around b/c of the RD (retinal detachment)? I have heard that before with even adults. Just wondering. My mother-in-law has RD. As far as the hearing test, was it determined if she has sensorineural or conductive hearing loss? Are they aiming for hearing aids or cochlear implants?
ReplyDeleteHow is the practicing ocming along with the signs? PRACTICE every chance you can with the girls...they catch on sooo quick!! So much fun to watch them also develop their own language too! Smiles and prayers, Mar
It is amazing how they love their siblings! I just read some of your blog and am amazed that your girls survived being mono/mono. My twin sons got TTTS, they were mono/di. It is wonderful to see the Lord's hand sustaining such lives. Prayers for your family as they grow!
