In just five days Seren will hit the big five months-hard to believe it. Here's a current photo-taken this morning while G was in "school." The weather was humid so her hair wasn't cooperating with us but we tried to tame it a bit! S and I hung out and watched thirtysomething on my ipod...she thought the characters were too self involved so she went to sleep. :)
Her seizures are better. Her tummy is better. Nothing is perfect but both have improved. The antibiotics seem to have worked on the infection. She still has a bit of a cough (which is a difficult thing to do with a feeding tube in place). She's about 9 and a half pounds, so she's very tiny for a five month old.
Developmentally she is still just as she was as a newborn so I don't have much to report. I can't brag about her sitting up or rolling over or eating solid foods so instead I'll brag about how much everyone loves her, how well her nurses take care of her and how she is clearly one tough cookie. Seren's five months have been eventful. Her small victories are larger than our large ones. She puts the world in perspective for almost everyone who meets her. She can't see or smile or even drink out of a bottle, but she has a huge impact on everyone who knows her. Not bad work for a five month old.
Thank you Jennifer for sharing Seren with us and for your constant updates. I would love to see Seren and visit with her in person...perhaps one day soon. Raleigh isn't THAT far away, is it?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that Seren is feeling somewhat better and we will keep praying that she doesn't suffer. We love you guys and think of you often.
She looks so much like Grayson! I am so glad to see her progress and to read about how amazingly well she is doing - your optimism and strength are channeling through her and helping her to be even more optimistic and strong! You all are amazing! Know that I am thinking of you and praying for beautiful Seren, as well as the rest of the Windley family! Much love, Taylor Morris :)
