UPDATE on Natalia May 3, 2003

Natalia had an Endoscopy and PH study this last week and we are still waiting on the results. We use a foley with her G-tube which seems to work best for her. We have tried the button and also the gastric feeding tube. The last few days with the gastric feeding tube have been real fussy for our little one, so we decided to go back with the foley. It is possible we may have to go in for another fundoplication surgery to keep her from refluxing. Please pray for our little one, she seems to be so fussy lately around her feedings with reflux. We have been alternating between the contacts and the glasses. She is still adjusting to the bifocals on the glasses. We are trying to open her right ear tube, which seems to be clogged with some old blood from the surgery, Please pray this simple procedure of solution works as I really don't want to go back into surgery so soon. On a lighter note, a week ago while visiting my sister, Marque, as we were leaving and Natalia was giving out kisses (on the cheek) she said "Hug" very clearly when she came to her Aunt Marque.

Then today when leaving after a visit, Natalia was clearly upset as we said our good by's and gave the biggest pouty lip when we just were giving a quick hug to Marque. It was so cute, she was not happy that we were leaving and Marque hadn't held her yet. It is so nice to see her making choices and using real emotion in everyday situations. You have to watch her closely, but everyday she shows us something more
