#6
Well, 6 down 2 to go. Mallory did awesome today. She slept for 2 hours after the injection, which is very helpful. Although today she was actually trying to lift herself up. She would put her elbows down on the bed and push. And when she grabbed my fingers, she tried to pull herself up. She is definitely getting stronger! I’m tired with her teething. She has gotten all 4 molars and her gums are all swollen, so it is tough getting her to eat without screaming. But other than that, things are good.
It has been a tough week, but we managed to get through it with help from family. I really miss everyone and can’t wait to get home. 12 more days. The light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter!
There is a MacDonald’s opening tomorrow across the street. Never thought I would be excited about a MacDonalds, but I am. So tired of Chinese food!
We finally have hot water and the smell is just about gone. Mallory has been great and is sleeping like an angel. The translators and other families have been really helpful when I need a break. It snowed here today. Big flakes, but they didn’t stick. It has been really cold and there has been a wicked wind that just goes right through you.
We are going to the Holiday Inn Saturday night for a break and a nice bath. They also provide a nice american breakfast. Mallory has started eating broccoli, which is good. EXCEPT…whoever knows Mallory knows how she can clear a room, now times that by 10! Wow…it is true what they say about broccoli and gas! hee hee
Therapy is going great. Her therapist and doctor both said that they can see Mallory getting stronger. She is chewing now, but has bit her tongue a couple of times. I don’t think she is used to her new teeth just yet. She still gets really stiff, but we are working on that.
Obviously we are not sending out Christmas cards this year, so Merry Christmas everyone!
More to come. Thanks for the comments…I love reading them.
