Chloe has finally reached the point where she is getting too many feeds, so the bottle per day count can be reduced. This is great news as it reduces the concern for her growth, but also means a little more free time in the day for both Chloe and Mom. Mom reports that Chloe has discovered the TV and can be caught fascinated by it at any time she's in the vicinity. This prompted the recording of suitable shows for a 4 month old and to limit Chloe's viewing of daytime trash shows. Unfortunately, wet weather kept Chloe from attending her first Razorback tailgate, but she had lots of special visitors during the weekend.
She still goes to physical therapy twice a week. She's not holding her head in some positions like she should, so she gets a workout! She continues to wear the splints while she sleeps. Her fists are much more open and now would enable her to grasp objects. She's not trying to reach and grab yet.
I recently visited the NIC unit where she spent her early weeks and was reminded how far she has come. Four months after her birth I am profoundly grateful to those nurses and doctors who gave her a path for recovery. I'm also quite proud of Chloe's mom and dad for their dedication to her.
