Highlights of the Past Week

Father's Day Breakfast at the RM House

Moriah loving her Daddy on Father's Day

And then giving him her Father's Day present...Mommy and the Nurses laughed a lot at this one.
Yes, that's poop.

Our good friend, Steve, visited us from Colorado! Steve has one of the biggest hearts out of anyone we know, and has always loved and served us selflessly. It was so good to see our friend, and catch up on life.

Jana and the team came up with a new plan for Moriah; antibiotics were stopped today, and they are starting her on Bactrum and Fluconisol (sp?) prophylactically, and will give her the next 10-14 days to see how she does on it

Preschool with Miss Kristen. Moriah made a Father's Day card with her footprints. So cute!

Exercising in the Bumbo

Reading time with Daddy. Moriah looooves reading books. Her favorite ones are by Karen Katz because she likes to flip up the flaps and find the picture behind them.



We were barely able to fit her in her CU t-shirt which is 24 months by the way. The tee kept rolling up throughout the day so that her belly would hang out. Can we say Chunky Monkey?

We went to Nicholas' 1st Birthday at the park. Ashley (mom) and Nicholas were at the RM House with us because Nicholas had a liver transplant. He was so loved at the House and we all just passed him around and loved on this sweet, cuddly little boy. Ashley and Nicholas went home today. Happy Birthday handsome!

Physical Therapy: working really hard during tummy time

Fine Motor Exercises...she's getting better with that left arm
And Daddy learning how to do weight-bearing exercises to help Moriah stand...looks like Justin is doing most of the work...she has him wrapped around her finger ;-)

Phew! Lots went on. We are glad that Moriah got better during the week, and we are now really hopeful with this new strategy of prophylaxis medication. We will update on how it goes. Otherwise, I'm just really enjoying my girl.
As soon as I get to the hospital, I don't let go of her, and Justin usually has to fight with me in order for me to let him have his turn. The Mama Bear in me comes out if I don't get my hugs in ;-)
We just ask for continued prayer for strength, perseverance, hope, and healing.
Thank you, friends.
Love,
Victoria

What sweet pictures and video. Thanks for sharing. She is absolutely adorable. Moriah looks like she is feeling well right now. I pray the new plan for prophylactic meds will be the trick for her. I ask God to continue protecting and comforting all of you as you travel this long journey. I ask Him to please give you and Justin strength, rest, patience, and wisdom throughout all of this. May He continue to bless and keep you in the palm of His hand.

Prayerfully,

Janet
