So Far...

So far we haven't seen any more blood in the poo and we are about 30 hours back into breast milk. We certainly aren't out of the woods for several more days yet but at least there is hope. So here are some pics of a hike we took the other day.


We've been trying to teach her to keep her glasses on and this was the first time she finally left them alone. What a silly girl!



Daddy decided this was the best time to teach K to throw rocks into the water. He created a monster! We were there for a long time just throwing rocks...she thought it was great. :)



Oh, the other two of us...Em LOVES being in the bjorn. I almost forgot to tell you that the consultant from the Braille Institute came out and right now the prognosis is the same. She sees light but has yet to focus on an object. For now, the glasses don't seem to make a difference but we keep them on in the hope that at some point they will.




Also she is well over 9 pounds but still fits in most of her newborn clothes. She must be proportioned quite differently but the reason I posted that is because I think it is funny that I am totally tired of her newborn clothes...how many people can say that? I know a lot of babies who never wear them because they are too small. :)

I wondered long ago now when the first hike would be--and now it was. Fun hiking photos! Skipping stones is always a fun activity. Em is getting SO big! Keep praying about her eyesight..
Have a great Memorial Day weekend. We are going to visit Kari and Brent!

Great shots. I see you are creating another leppard sun glass mania child:). I have to say that shot of you Becky is GREAT. You look so happy and peaceful and really pretty. I am so glad you are this far along this road with Emily!! I wish we could have been nearby to support you more but maybe next year:).

Great outdoor shots and how cool that your littlest girl is back to more normal type eating! Prayer daily for her eyesight, but, cool that the retina is working! I will be sending you an article about vision technology that is unbelievable.

With prayerful attention,

John and Barb
