A little bit of everything....

Okay, I know it has been quite some time since my last post and a lot has happened.’

I’m typing this blog from Washington Hospital Center. Sianna is at my parents’ house with my sisters and nephew. Damani is back in the hospital after not feeling so well for the past few weeks. When he came in, he found out that he has fluid built up in his lungs due to his previous Congestive Heart Failure. I am trying to stay positive, but this is the third hospitalization in a year. One of which resulted in him having a defibrillator/pace maker placed in his chest. Mind you – he only turns 40 this year. More than anything I pray that he can find a way to release all of the stress, grief, anger, etc. from past and present let downs, heart aches and frustrations. Please keep us in your prayers.

On a lighter note, I have wanted to write for some time now. About 3 weeks ago, Sianna had another appointment at Johns Hopkins hospital and she met with Dr. Ain! He was awesome. She had some x-rays done and he examined her spine which he said looks excellent. He also asked was she already crawling (she was 7 months at the time) when I told him ‘no’ he said to watch out, because she seemed really advanced and would probably crawl a lot earlier than I would expect given her Achon. Well guess what? About a week later, she started to scoot backward when put on her stomach. Fast forward about 8 days later and she is army crawling EVERYWHERE! She does take breaks to rest her head, lol. I think it’s still a tad bit heavy for her to keep up for too long but she is so insistent upon getting around and moving that she crawls in short intervals. It makes her SO happy to be on the floor getting around. It also drives me insane! I’m so worried that something will fall on her, etc. So I put her in her room with a VERY empty floor at the furthest point of the room, I put her toys on the opposite end of the room and she has a BALL trying to reach them.

They grow up so fast. J

Anyway, I’m getting tired. I will post a bunch of pics from the Johns Hopkins visit and since then.

Waiting for her echo-cardiogram...

Still waiting... 

Hooked up to the machine....

Hard to tell, but she is having a FIT... no crying however :)

After she screamed, she proceeded to try eating the equipment....

Happy the echo is over... on the way to see Dr. Ain

Waiting for Dr. Ain... yes, chewing on a [CLEAN] diaper....

On the examination table... waiting for the doc.
