First let me quickly report that we received her results from the liver planel and everything was absolutely fine! And onto the story: We started reading to Adela at lunch and dinner again as an old feeding therapy trick to encourage those less than favorite foods 🙂 Daddy started with two new story books and
Yesterday Dr. Seashore saw Adela and was very happy with her progress since the hospital. We did have blood drawn for a liver panel but won’t know the results for a few days. He said she looked very healthy, had a good BMI, and was acting just like a normal toddler. He said she was
Today I had to go to the allergist. It was not very fun and I wanted to go home. They pricked my back and made me itch and said I was allergic to the same stuff as before.
Here’s a toast to a new year – Happy and Healthy! We made it through a rather uneventful holiday. Unfortunately Adela and Steven were both sick over Christmas. Adela with a stomach bug and Steven with a bad cold, so we had a relatively quiet Christmas Day.  Adela was not eating well for a few
On Friday we had our family Christmas photos taken. Adela was a bit reluctant to participate, but eventually we were able to coax her in front of the camera.
Since Adela is at the age where she is now starting to appreciate the excitement of Christmas, we decided to get our tree a bit early. We went to Back Achers Christmas Tree Farm in Raleigh on Sunday and picked out a very nice leyland cypress for this year. We tried a cypress last year

Adela also got to have her first pizza – Grumpa helped her make it. It had steak, bell peppers, and tomatoes for the toppings and the crust was made without any eggs,

The barbecue fundraiser at Reelsboro United Methodist Church went very well today. Ali and I would like to thank everyone who participated — those who purchased plates, those who helped prepare and deliver plates, and those who made donations. The proceeds will help offset the costs of Adela’s hospitalization earlier this year and her continued
We drove this afternoon to New Bern to visit Nana and Granddaddy for the weekend. Tomorrow is the big pig-pickin’ they have planned. It is suppose to help Mommy and Daddy with some of the bills. Hopefully it will all go well.
