Everybody cross your fingers!

Annie's reflux is really the primary challenge we are dealing with now. It causes her alot of pain and a reflux episode can even impact her breathing. Yesterday, we tried taking it easy with bottle feeds and gavaging any time she was sleeping (i.e. through her feeding tube). She is still having some vomiting so today we are trying taking her off of the (say it with me now) Thee-of-o-lyn. This is the drug that has been helping her with her breathing since she was born so I'm a little nervous! However, it's incredible that she is strong enough to experiment with taking her off the drug. So... fingers crossed. This could be a huge step for Annie and, hopefully, assist with her reflux.

In other news, ANNIE'S FLAPPER HAT (see photo below) HAS GONE MISSING. Annie is quite upset. If anyone sees her flapper hat making a run for it.. stop that hat!

Oh no! Don't tell me Annie's taking after her mom with regard to runaway hats!! I seem to remember Elly chasing a tweed one down the hill at Waterloo in the wind and shouting "Mon chateau! Mon chateau!" (Sorry, El - it's out in the world now! Just a sacrifice made for your daughter!) By the way, Elly got hers back; let's hope Annie's gets returned soon!!
