After all the hard work everything seems to be paying off! Aaliyah has learned to Roll Over from her Belly to her Back! She is Mommy's little worker!

New things

2009-04-15T15:00:00.000-07:00

We have been working with Aaliyah a lot to help her stay on track. This is something new that she has started within the last 2 weeks and our FT is so happy. We have also fell in love with a little doll that she got for easter. She has also found her hands! Im just so happy that she is going so great! Sorry to run you one!

ENT Update

2009-04-15T13:43:00.000-07:00

We went to the ENT today because I failed my ABR. Dr. Chi thinks that I have Fluid on my ears. He was hoping that we could go in and put tubes into my ears. But As you all know I have very small ears and that out of the plans for now. I'm to go back in 6 months to see if they have gotten bigger so I can get my tubes if I still need them. Going to repeat my ABR on the 21. Wish me luck.

Great News

2009-04-01T05:58:00.000-07:00

So yesterday we got some great new Aaliyah might not need to get hearing aids! The Dr. called yesterday and said that when they did the ABR she had a lot of normal reading which is some great new! We just had to deal with the fact of getting them now we might not even have to bother with them!

An Update

2009-03-25T15:33:00.000-07:00

So it's been a little bit an Aaliyah is doin so many more things. She is almost 3 months and getting so big! She has started to smile when you talk to her=) She has also started to push up on her legs when you have her up on something! Which shows us great leg support =) She has started to also eat a lot more then just 2 oz ever 4 hours.

We are getting ready to move into our New house this week and Aaliyah is final going to have a room! Im so Happy to get all the cutie little things out for her room.

We are also going to get her fitted for her hearing aids next week! We should have them in about 1 month after that and she will be able to hear the birds. (I think its so sad that she can not hear the great sounds of the birds god mad) Well thats about it to next time!

Heart Check Up

2009-03-09T13:55:00.001-07:00

Went to the Heart Dr at Children's and everything looks good. She has a PFO which is normal in a lot of baby most of the time it fixes itself. He don't want to see her back until she is 2 years old. Thanks god I got some good new! =}

Hearing Tested

2009-03-05T19:00:00.000-08:00

So today we went to have the ABR test done and they did some other tests when she was sleeping so well!=) On not such a good not we have to take her to get hearing aids. The Cochlea has some problems might be a birth defect. But on a good note she can hear some its not that bad but she will need the hearing aid to help with speech and some other things in life. The one she will not need after she learns how to talk. But the right ear will need a little more help. I'm fine with the fact that she needs them but think that josh is not to sure about the whole thing. And I think the fun thing about them is we can get in all kind colors.

Genetics

2009-02-28T07:23:00.000-08:00

Yesterday we want to see the Genetics was not sure what all they were going to do. When we got into Pittsburgh all the parking was full and we have to ride around for about 30 min until we could get into a parking building. They took us right way and go started. The Dr. said that she looks very good. She is up to 9lbs 7oz and 21 in long. Wow my baby is getting so big. We also go to meet the lady from the DS. She is great and gave us 2 more books to do some reading on. So on a very good note Aaliyah is doing very great. Glad to see that god has kept him hand on here.

Nothing new

2009-02-19T08:19:00.000-08:00

I feel so alone in the world. Like nobody around me understands the way I feel. I get so down when I think about my baby having DS. How in the world am i going to be o.k.? Im glad that I found the DS Page all the people on it are great and Im uplifted when i read the storys and all the babys/kids are doing great.

Mom was having some problems so I was taken to the nursey for the night. Thank God I stopped brathing and needed oxygen and the same thing thursday night. My Dr. came into talk to mom about me and told her that he was doing some tests on me to make sure that everything is ok. But, never told her what he was testing for.

Mom knew but did not want to say anything. Moms Dr. came into talk to her about me and tell her that they where testing for DS. Mom was all alone dad had to go to work. Mom was upset that her new angel had something wrong with.

After a long wait my family got the news on Sat that I did have DS. Nothing is diff. my family still loves me <3.
