So, we've finally started taking Abby out other than doctors' appts. We took her to the local 4th of July parade. She slept the whole time. Then a week later to our city's heritage days pancake breakfast, then the parade after that. They had SEVERAL emergency vehicles driving very slowly while their sirens were going off the whole time to start the parade. Joshua and Abby weren't too thrilled about this. She finally fell asleep in her stroller while Joshua had a blast collecting candy and other goodies that were tossed to the onlookers. The photo shows his candy score. More than he got at Halloween. I've also taken her shopping twice and run some other errands with her.
And we've taken her to church a few times. We've been meeting in a tent on our newly purchased property. You can see Mark feeding her in the bottom center of the other photo. We had some very strong winds this past week though and the whole tent flipped (yes, it was staked. They just pulled out) and some of the pieces bent. We will be meeting in the barn like building until the new tent we've ordered arrives and is put up. Eventually the barn structure will be converted into a sanctuary.
This week we have a couple of dr. appts., one of which is down in Salt Lake. This is her Neonatal Follow Up through the health dept. She will be seeing several different specialist including a nutritionist. I'm hoping they will be able to help out with her eating issues. She hasn't been eating well for almost 7 weeks now. She hasn't lost any weight yet. She has another weight check on Monday. She should be eating 2-3 ounces per pound of weight. She is now nearing 13 pounds and is only eating 12-14 ounces per day. We would appreciate any prayers in regards to this issue as it has been very stressful for me. She seems okay otherwise. However, she does sleep quite a bit during the day as well as at night. If she doesn't start eating better she may need to have a g-tube surgically inserted. We'll see.
