Ky's latest surgery

Ky went in for surgery on the 21st to have her peg tube replaced with a button which is much nicer and easier to care for. She has stopped having interest in eating and always has a tough time bouncing back from anesthesia so we have some catching up to do but I keep hoping one day it is all going to come together. We are pretty sure this is her last surgery and we can keep going forward with therapy and learning new habits. She has gained 4 ounces this month and is doing great with her motor skills. Our goal this month is to start introducing food and finding some that interest her. We had a beautiful first Christmas with the girls. We received lots of amazing blessings this year and Ky even had interest in ripping paper. We had our family over to celebrate together and it was just a calm, nice time. We are looking forward to an amazing year with the girls. I am anxious to see what kind of adventures are in store for us this year. Steven and I are really enjoying the girls and have a lot of hope for our families future.

Christmas time is here

Ky is 4 months old now and finally growing. She went in for her 4 month check up a few weeks ago and weighed in at 13 pounds 4 ounces. They say she is still a little small for her age but they are happy with her progress and we are sure she will catch up. She is hitting a lot of developmental milestones. She found her feet, rolled from front to back and started to hold things on her own which is extra exciting for us because they were testing her for developmental delays and she passed. Thank god. Unfortunately Ky has to go back in for surgery again on the 21st. She is having her g tube replaced with a button which is great but I am a little nervous because her last one day surgery turned into a ten day stay and two surgeries. I am again just staying hopeful and praying for the best. We have tried solid foods for the first time and she is struggling with it but shows interest in the flavor so far she has only had sweet potatoes but she will learn and we will beat her dependence on her tube. She has started giggling which is such a huge leap from when I couldn't even pick her up. She is an amazing baby and we are going to continue to move forward and keep making improvements. Ky went and saw Santa for the first time with her sister and she didn't even cry. I was so proud of her. We couldn't be more excited about Christmas. It's been hard having Steven working away but we are all going to be together for Christmas and I couldn't be more happy about it.
