Last Week

For lack of any ambition to organize my thoughts and put this into an entertaining narrative of some sort, here's a quick look at what's been going on since my last post.

• Found out that percocet makes me completely high and unable to function. I don't remember this from the csection, but my doc switched me over to vicodin when I got a refill and I was in a pretty foggy haze anyway with the lack of sleep and brewing infection, so maybe that's why I don't recall this.

• Cassidy discovered her feet but has yet to put one in her mouth.

• Got the all clear from the pediatrician on Cassidy's lungs, but her nose is still ridiculously snotty and congested. We stopped the steroid treatments, as of yesterday we've decreased her NEB treatments to twice a day, and hopefully will decrease to once a day next week.
  
• Cassidy got her 6 month vaccines.

• We've started Cassidy on green vegetables... mmmmm. peas. And we are working on her "pincher grasp" by introducing cheerios. Cassidy's doing great at picking them up, but she rarely manages to get one into her mouth. When she does, she wrinkles her forehead, looks like she's about to cry, and sticks out her tongue which the cheerio is stuck to. It's hilarious!
  
  
• Cassidy cut her first tooth! We didn't even realize it until the pediatrician pointed it out because you can't really see it yet, but you can definitely feel it.
  

• I was again reminded of how lucky I am to have parents who are such a huge part of our lives. The past week would have been much more difficult without you here to help with Cassidy while I'm unable to lift her. Thank you so much Mom and Dad.
