We thought for a while that Calle was going to escape the sickness her brother had. Our pediatrician told us that we should pretty much resign ourselves to the fact that whatever contagious bug either of them get, the other will eventually get it too. He was right – Calle started with the cough and the congestion about when Christian was on the upswing. She followed pretty much the same course as Christian, so we had some idea what to expect. She is finally back on the upswing herself, and her oxygen needs are getting back to normal levels (it is typical for oxygen needs to increase when they are sick, especially if congestion is involved).

Calle is such a mellow, easy-going little gal. She is often content to just relax in her bouncy chair and watch the world around her. She’s been working really hard with her physical / occupational therapists to increase her range of motion, dexterity, and development. She had an appointment this last week with Ophthalmology at PCMC. This was a follow-up to the R.O.P. laser surgery she had several months ago. The doctor was very pleased with her vision. We just know it is another in a very long line of blessings.
