First off I want to say that I am so sorry to those of you who only know whats going on because of the blog. I suppose I assumed everyone who kept up with us were also friends with us in person, on facebook, twitter or some other type of social media or were friends of friends or family. I was corrected today after a phone call I received from my very best friend. I never realized how very blessed Charli is. There are people from all over praying for her, it makes complete sense of course, because she is doing SO well. So to those of you I don't know who check this blog to keep up with Charli Faith, I am so sorry I haven't posted in ages. We thank you so much for your prayers and are truly blessed by them. We have been so busy! I never claimed to be a good blogger, and I can't promise I will get any better. I told Jennifer today that my goal will be to at least post once a month, on or around the 14th which is Charli's birthday.
So now to the good stuff.. All about Charli! She now weights 9lbs 5oz.. little chunker! I love those fat cheeks. She smiles at us and tries to laugh. Holds her head up but is not a fan of tummy time. She is taking 4oz every 4 hours and sleeping through the night. Yes I said SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT, goes to bed at 8pm gets up at 6am. It just happened one day and has been going on for 2-3 weeks now. It's such a blessing because I'm back at work and those first few weeks were pretty rough. She's also in her own room sleeping in her crib, no more bassinet beside the bed (that was tough for this momma.) All of her Doctors appointments have been going very well. Overall she is doing great.
The Neurosurgeon said he'd see her in 3 months for Monday the 10th, her ultrasound has remained unchanged since we left the hospital. The last time we saw the Neurologist he said her development was on track (They adjust her age back 6 weeks.) Endocrinologist says everything is looking good now. We go to St. Jude for her Hematology appointments and they re-diagnosed (if thats even a word) her with NAIT. The good news there is that will start to resolves itself around 6 months. So we go there every 4 weeks to get her platelets checked. A new thing is Tennessee Early Intervention Services (TEIS). Its a state program thats comes to your house and provides therapies to preemies and children that need it. We've yet to have our first therapy session due to getting all the paper work together but I'm really excited for this to start. We've set some awesome goals we cant wait for Charli to reach!
Ill leave you with lots of recent pictures of our girl!
