Still counting...

We're almost up to 3 weeks of no seizures. I probably won't stop counting until we get to 6 months. Her little personality keeps coming out with more laughing, "talking," and yelling. She pretty much has an opinion about everything now. Assertiveness has totally replaced passivity. Yippee.

Annie's difficulty communicating seems to be causing her more frustration, which, I guess, is a good thing. This morning when Bill went in to her room to give her her medicine, Annie looked up at him and made a new sound, then had this expression on her face like, "Why can't my mouth work?" She is very chatty during the morning routine, but just seems frustrated when no words come out.

Tomorrow we go to the feeding therapist to see what our next steps are in getting her to eat food. Hopefully her loose bottom front tooth will come out before our appointment. I'm just freaked that it'll fall out and she'll swallow it. But I'm more freaked about going in there after it. Bill & I tried to extract it yesterday, but the whole process was too traumatic for all of us and the neighborhood, so I gave up.

He has put a new song in my mouth—
Praise to our God;
Many will see it and fear,
And will trust in the LORD. Psalm 40:3
