For those of you still following Catherine…she had a few appointments yesterday. She got her hearing rechecked after a few failed tests while she was in the hospital. While she does have some mild hearing loss, it appears that it’s something that can be treated and or grown out of (fluid, wax, small ear canals). She will visit an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist in the future to diagnose what exactly it is. She also went to the neonatology clinic and she weighed in at 9 lbs. That’s about 25 grams a day she has been gaining since she was discharged. Everyone was happy with that! They are now allowing her to breastfeed for 3 feeds a day instead of two and we are continuing to go up on her volume. She is working hard on gaining more strength in her neck muscles so she can hold her head up. However, she is not working very hard on getting her brothers to love her and give her lots of attention, she doesn’t need to! They love to kiss her and make her smile, and now laugh.
Please continue to keep Kurt in your prayers…here’s an update from the CaringBridge site.

He smiled all morning =) and laughed at Mrs. Lisa and Mr. Larry. Still in some pain from PEG tube but overall, wonderful day for Kurt. It was great to see him in good spirits today. Went for MRI in the afternoon. Pray he can get a good night’s rest.
