Busy Busy Busy

Its been a crazy few days. Charlie is back into her physical therapy schedule and we have been trying to just adjust now that we are back from the hospital. Hospital stays seem to throw everything off kilter for awhile. The housework piles up and it takes about a week to get caught up.

Charlie is doing absolutely fantastic. Her physical therapist is so pleased with her progress. She is now grabbing things, trying to roll over (shes SO close) and is tolerating (maybe even enjoying?) tummy time now. We still have the issue where she throws up every. single. morning. It breaks my heart because she doesn't even cry much anymore. She just throws up and groans. We are experimenting with some nausea/vomiting meds but they don't seem to help. I really hope the G-tube and continuous night time feeds help. We have opted not to get a fundo (its surgery on the stomach that prevents throwing up) I have hope that we can get this under control with reflux meds or at least she will grow out of it when we start solids.

Life has been better. My amazing husband gives me "Mom's day off" every Saturday where I can go

out and do whatever I want. I usually do something active and then go grocery shopping. Today I may go hang out with my amazing friend Irina. She is just such a warm, caring and selfless person. Here she is with her amazing adorable puppy "Bear". She has definitely helped me so much with what has been going on. I also have gotten back in the gym which helps my mental well-being. I'm excited to get "me" back. I feel like I can be a much better Mom when I'm more comfortable in my own shoes....and pants.

For once I feel slightly better about the future. Maybe this is doable. It's going to be hard, but I always have been the type of person to choose things that were difficult anyway.
