Ainsley is now 7 1/2 months old. She has become more interactive and more vocal. She can reach for a play with toys appropriately. She can roll over from front to back and sits up really well. She cut a tooth (today) and started solids this week. We have watched our baby girl come back to us! Despite being on a ridiculous amount of steroids (40 mg/day), she is so sweet and joyful every day. Now, the steroids are having the effect of preventing much sleep at night, but this just seems to make Momma grumpy. :) I remember being blown away by how well she slept from her first day on this earth, always giving me a couple of 3-4 hour stretches every night. I long for those newborn nights now. Also, the steroids are an immuno-suppressant, so we have been staying in our little nest as much as possible. Even so, she gifted the family the flu right before Christmas. Thankfully it was short-lived and surprisingly mild. I am so thankful that the meds and other therapies seem to be working, but I will gladly bid Mr. Prednisolone good riddance when he is no longer necessary.
Join with us in praying that the EEG confirms what our eyes see: that she is, once again, a healthy baby girl. No matter the outcome, all glory to God.
