Last month my friends at work held an Welcome Home party for JaLia. The boys were on spring break so they got to come and my mom brought them all so I didn't have to miss work !! JaLia was on her best behavior and enchanted the group. She is so friendly and outgoing, doesn't know a stranger. Luckily everyone left before she decide it was time to start acting up, I pasted it off as nap time -haha.
I called to see when i needed to bring her in for a cardiologist appt and they said "can you come tomorrow" $$$$ so I made the trek up to Riley and took her in for an EKG. Dr S said everything looked great, took her off the meds, he said it really takes 6 months before the skin would grow over the patch so just come back in.... a year. I doubt I follow up on that. From our experience VSD's are a piece of cake. Short hospital visit, no complicated follow up. I really haven't noticed any change since the surgery.This girl has the same amount of energy as she had before, she never had bluing, only issue was the drain on her calories. She is putting on the tummy but hasn't grown otherwise..............................................
JaLia doesn't say much on her own that i would categorize as trying to communicate, she understands it all and can repeat but I would love for her to start to initiate what she wants. She did tell one of the boys the other day to "sit down" and she says Jaxon-no-no constantly regardless of which boy she is talking to so we have made that the family joke.......................................................
She has learned the word "quiet" at daycare, which is much nicer than mommy's constant "shut-up" to the boys. It seems like she is talking more but really I can't understand any of it and don't know if it's chinese words or babble......................... We finally had a chance to get with the Families with Chinese Children (FwCC)group for a playdate in the park. JaLia was so busy on the equipment that she didn't get to interact with many of the kids nor did I get a chance to chat with many of the parents but it was a beautiful day and I'm sure we will get many more chances now that it is spring.
