Tuesday was a Looooong Day!

Our morning started out with a 7:45 appointment with ENT. Everything went well. No changes and no news as to when the Trach will come out. We are scheduled to see him again in three weeks.
She is no longer on the steroids, we are just kind of waiting to see what the hemangioma will do without them.
Please continue to pray that the Hemangioma will GO AWAY!

Here is a picture of Lauren as we waited for the doctor to come in. Good thing mommy brought the nebulizer, she really needed a breathing treatment, poor baby was very wheezy.














On to appointment #2 of the day- DOC BAND! This was a very exciting appointment, as it was her last one! We are so thankful for Cranial Technologies, Lauren's head looks perfect!

She had fun playing with the toys while we waited for the clinician to come in.










































What is the first thing you did when you got home, you ask? Well, I did what any proud mommy would do of course... I gave her a bath and put her hair in a cute little sprout and took lots of pictures!










































Our final appointment of the day was with Lauren's regular pediatrician. I had to call and get her in because she was not feeling very well. Her Oxygen requirement went from 1/2 liter while sleeping to 4 liters and she had a low grade fever.

The doc put her on antibiotics for ten days and said if she gets worse to bring her back in.

The night started off pretty rough, she was coughing really bad and blood was coming out of her Trach. (nothing to be too worried about, this has happened before)
Once she settled down and fell asleep, she was fine the rest of the night.

Today she is doing a lot better, but I think it will be a couple more days until she is over it.

Look at all of that hair! I love her little ponytail! Congrats, you guys, you're doing such a great job with her as her progress has shown. We will continue to keep Lauren on our prayer list.

And aren't those Bumbo seats the best!?!
