Updates on Cameryn & Reid

Thought I'd just write a little blurb about how Miss Cameryn is doing these days. She has become quite the little independent boss. And she is VERY smart...sometimes maybe too smart for her own good. At her 2 year check up, the doctor asked me if I thought she had at least a 50 word vocabulary. I had to laugh...Jimmy and I kept a list going for a while and we quit once we got to 150 words. Seriously. She talks non-stop - my mom says she's just like another little girl she used to know :-) Did I ever mention that in first grade I received N's across the board in conduct due to my excessive talking? Guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.

She is such a joy, even when she is exhibiting her "terrible two's." She definitely keeps Jimmy and me busy, busy, busy, which these days is a very good thing. What a blessing she is. I've included a picture that Jimmy took of Cameryn with his cell phone. She likes posing for the camera and saying "cheese!" I think we have another 'Hollywood' on our hands...

I visited Reid at noon today and was surprised and of course pleased to see that he is once again off his C-PAP machine and has been moved back to the nasal cannula's! Dr. Ahmed again wanted to make sure that I understood that it is o.k. if he has to go back on C-PAP in a few days, but that he has high hopes that Reid will tolerate just being on the cannula's this time. It is so wonderful to be able to see all of his little face again. He is now eating 24 cc's every three hours, which is the max he can receive per feeding for his current weight (2 pounds, 11 oz). He is now also receiving an additive in his milk which ups his caloric intake, so he should really start packing on the pounds....well, at least the ounces!

I have a great new picture the nurses took today - I'll scan and post it tomorrow at work.
