Day 54- Workin on Fitness

Yesterday Rowan had occupational therapy in Austin. They will work with her to get caught up on some gross motor skills.

She is 7 1/2 months now, but she is not quite able to sit up unassisted, roll over consistently, or crawl. This is not unexpected. For the two months prior to her transplant, her stomach was so big and swollen that it was extremely uncomfortable for tummy time. Then, during the hospital stay, she was confined to bed in the ICU for 3 weeks. We are doing our own exercises at home, but therapy is going to teach us a few new moves.

Since the transplant she is already making somuch progress on her own. The therapists have been impressed with her progress.

Teething is still a process. BUT, we have found a few things that help ease her pain.

Now she has a cold!
It's just one thing after another!!!

We talked to our team in Houston and they said to monitor for a fever. No fever yet, so we are trying to keep from getting any worse!

It made it hard for Ro to sleep last night with her itchy, runny, and congested nose... Poor thing- that and the teething.

That hasn't stopped her from enjoying her exer-saucer:)
Best. Toy. On. Earth.



We have met so many families with children suffering from BA. Rowan is so fortunate to have a new liver and on her way to recovery. She Could be in a much worse position. Talking with some of the moms who are pre-transplant is so interesting because we have such similar stories. So many babies to keep in our prayers...






Check her out helping with allllll of the laundry:)
