My girl is back!!!

Thankfully, my girl is back! She didn't even need her inhaler today. She has a little cough every now and then but nothing too bad.

Ever since last week she has this redish patch of skin under her right eye that goes up the right side of her nose. She always rubs her nose, which I'm curious if she has allergies to something, but now I'm wondering what this red patch is from. After seeing Isaac the other day I'm thinking it just might be a DiGeorge thing. (He is looking much better Kathy!)

We saw Arianna's occupational therapist today and did her find motor evaluation. I don't think we have ever done one of these. I am SO proud to say Arianna is scoring at 28 months of age. She is only 27 moths old so that is wonderful new! Janet doesn't even think she needs OT anymore but with all the state budget cuts she is still going to put into our insurance to approve 6 visits a year. This way she can continue to see Arianna every few months, even after she turns 3 years old. Wow...my baby will be 3 this year!!!

I got a picture of Janet and Arianna today.

Then this afternoon we went to meet a co-worker of mine from Utah who is visiting her in-laws just down the road in Corona de Tucson. We meet her at the park but she didn't bring her children because they were napping. (Naps...what are those?!?!) Arianna had a blast and went on the slide several times and LOVED the swing. Of course I forgot my camera so no pictures. :(

I'm not sure if I've told you all lately, but Arianna speech is really taking off. She is repeating more of what I say. The other day is was "bucket water" and today it is "orange pumpkin". I got her on video....she was being shy for some reason. The part where she is screaming is her saying, "Daddy look!" I know I understand alot of what she is saying but alot of people still cannot.

Good Morning America

A dear friend of mine told me Good Morning American did a story on a child that has DiGeorge Syndrome and had a thymus transplant. Here is the link to this story and you can watch this amazing journey of baby Jayla. What an emotional story it is.

Amazing video!!!

I just found this article, and this article, about two other families who have had the same procedure.

Video after dinner

Of course as soon as I bring out the camera she shys up but wanted to post this anyways. She just had dinner and was sitting under the table acting like a dog. Silly girl!

Climbing on couch

I was trying to post this the other day directly on the blog and was having trouble. I completely forgot I could post it this way so here goes. I finally have the cable to download video so I'll be posting more video. This was the very first time Arianna climbed on the couch. Of course she can't do it alone cause she needs something (someone) to hold on to. I still am amazed. Check her out!
