Each morning, when I wake, I recognize my powerlessness over our situation at hand. I turn this problem over to God and begin my day. Today at our follow up visit with Dr. Saphire he said "If it were not for this scar, you would have never know anything was ever wrong with her". And today I feel powerful. Today the "what if's" are gone and they have turned into "she will's". Brooklynn is about 4 1/2 months old, 10lbs 1oz and 23 inches long. In four weeks she has almost gained 2 lbs. Her Dr. was hoping for a bigger gain but we take what we can get. Her x-rays looked great and her color is now more pink than pale. Brooklynn talked to her Dr., in her own language, the entire time he examined her. It was quite a sight. We have at least 2 more weeks of extreme precautions. No lifting from the arms, no tummy time, no going out. I am ok with this because I get to keep her all to myself and snuggle. We will go back in a month for another check up. I have had to learn to keep in touch with reality and to remember that time is on my side.
