Today Emma is 7 weeks old. In the past week, she's been through a lot. We spent Monday at the hospital, where Emma was put under general anesthesia for a laryngoscopy and MRI. Both showed no abnormalities except what we already knew: tracheolmalacia, laryngomalacia, paralysis of the vocal chords and Stridor. Since there was no additional problems, the doctor thinks she will grow out of these conditions with time. He said he might have to trim her epiglottis in the future, but will wait to see how she grows. We were there in the Pediatric ICU overnight and went home Tuesday afternoon. Friday we were back at the hospital to visit orthopedics and get an ultrasound of Emma's hips. She has hip dysplasia and has to wear a pelvic harness for at least 6 weeks. At that time, we'll get another ultrasound and see if she's improved enough to take it off. She is such a sweet sweet baby and still so good. The night before she got her harness, she slept 11 hours straight! Wow, what a girl :o)
A good thing that happened for Mommy this week is I finally got my wedding rings back on and some of my normal pants, including a pair of size 4 slacks! I've lost 33 lbs, and still have 17 to go, but things are on the downhill slope finally. Yay!
