Day #20.... So Close, But Yet So Far Away

Friday completed the fourth week for Reese's feeding camp and this day was suppose to be the end. Though Reese has made progress,we cannot help but to feel this journey has just begun. The initial start was great, we saw much improvement in just a short time. As the weeks went on we had our share of HIGHS and lows. Reese struggles with feeding and will need additional weeks at the clinic. How long is still undetermined at this point.

We headed home on Friday night for what we thought was going to be a fun family weekend. Unfortunately Reese starting feeling ill Friday night (during the night) and did not feel better until Sunday afternoon. She couldn't keep her tube feedings down and feeding from a spoon was out of the question. We did not make it back to the clinic on Monday. Reese is feeling much better and will be back to work first thing Tuesday morning.

I wanted to share some photos of our little girl from late Sunday afternoon...We have been working with Reese on SO BIG! and she finally did it on her own! This is a big step for her and not to mention how proud we are of her once again. This mile stone came so naturally to our boys and I have to admit. I cannot even remember at what age Nicholas and Mason did So BIG. Having our daughter has taught us to cherish every moment of the baby stages. We all as a family enjoy this precious gift of ours....our daughter...our sister. John and I as well as Nicholas and Mason were so proud of Reese when she held her arms high in the air and did SO BIG! Here she is.....
