First Playdate

Last week was a busy week. We had many doctors appointments, most of which we still have no results from. We do know through the echocardiogram that her heart is normal, the murmur is not going to be a problem. We are still waiting on most of the blood testing results. Aubrey's specialist from Riley Hospital in Indy is going to phone conference us when she has all the results. She did suggest that since Aubrey's Bun/ Creatinine are elevated, and her orphanage was listed as one that used the Sandu milk products, she will need a renal ultrasound. That should help see if the melamine has caused any kidney stones or other problems.

Her ears continue to be a problem, she is on antibiotics now. We see the ENT tomorrow. Hopefully they will set up a plan, tubes in the ears possibly, to get her turned around.

We did take some time off from all the poking and prodding to play. Aubrey had her first playdate with Hannah and Mackenzie. She loved the merry-go-round and of course the slide.
She didn't do alot of play with the girls, but played beside them. It was great to see her run and laugh without needing me to hold her. Each day she is opening up a little bit more and becoming more self confident.

Last night as Aubrey was laying down to go to sleep, she reached for my hand. I thought to myself she needs reassurance that mama's not going to disappear. I layed beside her content to hold her hand. I needed the reassurance that she is really here now, physically here. No longer the dreams in my minds eye, a vanishing glimpse in the ethers, solidly totally Aubrey. My little girl.
