Jacy Is 7 Months Old!
Happy October Everyone!!!
Can it really be time for Halloween??? Where has the year gone!?!?!?! Jacy is very excited to go Trick-Or-Treating for her first time! (well, I am excited to dress her up anyways!)
Jacy's big achievement this month is ROLLING OVER by herself! Her little arms have been getting a lot stronger from tummy time, so on October 5th I grabbed the video camera to get on tape how well she was doing. As soon as I hit record she rolled herself over from her tummy to her back! I tried to keep the camera on her, but I was so excited I was jumping up and down. In the middle of yelling, "Jacy, you just rolled over by...." the battery on the video camera died! =( Oh, well.. at least I got the important part on tape. When daddy got home that night she rolled over for him 4 more times, and has been practicing everyday since. She has also found her toes and enjoys sucking on her big toe, and she has learned how to blow bubbles in her spit... Yeah! =) She is a great eater too. We have tried lots of different vegetables, and so far she loves them all! Her favorite movie right now is Cinderella! =) We just got her the movie and she sits in her swing and watches it (and I mean stares at the screen)! She is a very happy baby and does a great job of entertaining herself while I am doing my work from home.
This past Wednesday we had a check up with Dr. Manwaring, her Neurosurgeon. Unfortunately, Jacy's head circumference has increased significantly within the past 2 months. This has the Dr. a little concerned. She isn't showing any symptoms of being in pain, but he wants her to have another MRI in 4 weeks to check the size of the ventricles in her brain to make sure that they aren't getting too big and causing too much pressure. We talked again about different procedures and types of shunts to treat the hydrocephalus (fluid on the brain). We hope that it won't come to needing shunts, but we are ready to do whatever is best for her.
Jacy is still doing great with her physical therapy. We have a therapist in our home once a week, alternating between physical therapy and occupational therapy, and we continue to do her exercises several times through out each day. All the Dr.'s we visit keep commenting on how amazed they are at her leg strength and movement. We are so proud of her!
Our little angel really is doing great! She is such a joy and it is so much fun to watch her personality develop! She is so amazing, and we know that she can handle whatever obstacles might face her!
We wish you all a Safe and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
Love,
Jody
