Sleep Study results - great news!

Finally we got the news regarding Amelia's sleep study in November. Everything looks good, much better that the first study back in May. It means that the surgery that Amelia had in July improved her breathing significantly. She had few breathing pauses but lasting just a few seconds and the doctor was not concerned. Her oxygen intake level improved as well. She does not need to see ENT doctor yet, no problem with tonsils and adenoids which makes us very happy. Amelia's pulmonary doctor said that she does not need another sleep study for at least a year which is great!

Ami finally picked up the speed in her gross motor skills development! All her therapists are very impressed. She is spending more time on the belly, playing with toys in this position. She gained a lot of strength in her arms and legs, kicking an pushing herself up (just a bit). Physical therapy is no longer a torture to her, she started having fun with it. She is more focused on the toys and ready to go for her favorite ones! Hands up high, nice stretches across, she really rocks! This past Tuesday Amelia's out patient PT focused on showing me how to position Ameila in the chair and during play to support good posture and straight legs, awesome ideas! I will take pictures and share the ideas with you in my next post.

And last but not least - Amelia is sitting very well in her bumbo seat playing with toys on the tray attached. As you know she loves to play piano so voila! This is world premiere of her playing solo (without daddy's help) :
