EEEK!

Apologies all around for how long it has been since we last posted on Annie. Elly took her to the pulmonologist WITH PRIDE this past week because she was doing so incredibly well. While it is still very much the case that a runny nose for you or me becomes some substantial hacking and wheezing for Annie, she is really on a high right now and we are so thankful.

After a long wait, Annie was able to resume speech and feeding therapy this past week. She is a sponge and so eager to develop what is such a clear desire on her end to communicate with all of us. She acquires new words all the time but, because she has such "low tone" in her face (she still rarely closes her mouth), she has a lot of difficulty articulating clearly. Her PT remains strong. Annie is running, climbing and learning to jump. If only she didn't climb QUITE so high QUITE so often...

I have received some questions about what these therapies are like for a child Annie's age. I plan on posting something on the blog so stay tuned!!
