Better Each Day

Blair is doing better each day. Today we had a follow up doctor appointment and everything looks pretty good for now. We have another appointment in two weeks and they'll do a last chest x-ray to make sure her lungs are looking good.

She is getting more and more confident standing and walking a little bit on her own. She can stand up for a second if she's getting off a chair or a step and she's getting better at standing up from the middle of the floor. Yesterday, she could only take one or two steps before falling, but today she's put together a few more steps a couple of times. She's doing great with sitting up and using her arms. She only had one potty accident today and I think we're going to try wearing underpants to bed tonight. She's being a pretty good sport considering everything she's gone through lately.

Our cute girl crawling around. Yes, her bangs need to be cut in a big way, but it obviously isn't on my priority list right now.
Happy to be walking
Davis wanted to show me how he walks too. He always says, "Blair can't stand much. I stand much." He is being very nice and helpful to his sister now though.
Sorry the video is so shaky. I was trying to get her standing and then move back without missing anything.

I loved watching the video of Blair walking. Crazy how fast muscles are lost when they are not used. You are being so positive with her and about the whole thing. You really are super Mom!
