Book savvy

Well, we have been vomit-free for over 24 hours.  Let's hope that this is the end of it.  Perhaps Dr. Andy figured it out, that perhaps indeed it might have been acid reflux and if that isn't the case, then it was great timing.  We gave Maggie Zofran this morning along with her Prevacid and we haven't given her anymore all day.  She has done well and even managed to eat a couple bites of pudding.  We will talk with Dr. French tomorrow to hear his take on things.

I wanted to post this picture of Maggie.  Of her waking hours, most of it is spent in her "princess" chair reading books.  She loves this chair and points to it as soon as we go into the living room.  Maggie also loves books and can listen to them being read all day if we would let her.  She is learning to point out different objects in pictures, specifically animals.  She loves to point out dogs, but is also becoming savvy in the knowledge of cows, kitties, pigs, and ducks, to name a few. It is a great distraction to have her point out animals when trying to give her medicine.  

Maggie is also learning that a cow says "moo" or as she says it "boo," and of course a dog goes "oof."  It is so fun to listen to Maggie practice her sounds and repeat what we've said.  It is even more fun to watch her understand what we are saying.  Her receptive language is growing larger everyday!  

I thought I'd share these personal tidbits about Maggie since our normal conversation consists of medical terms.  She is showing us everyday that though she's been through a lot of stuff that other children her age have not (let alone over half of us adults), she is still a developing child and is showing us how smart she really is.
