We gave Hayley some rice cereal mixed with her formula. She wasn't that crazy about it. We will keep trying. Hayley has always loved her bottle and that was one of the reasons she came home from the NICU so early. I remember her sucking her bottle in the hospital and the nurses being amazed at her. Hayley still loves her milk.
Last Tuesday, Hayley had a check up at the Asheville Children's Center. She was evaluated by several different therapists. God is so FAITHFUL! The therapists were VERY impressed with her progress. We will continue to take her to Asheville every couple months. The physical therapist were amazed at her ability to roll over, hold her head up, and put support on her legs. The stiffness that was in her legs a couple months ago is much better. The therapists are so encouraging and always give me new ideas. Last week, they reminded me that eating is a skill. Babies need to get most of their nutrients from their milk until they are a year old. They recommended a flat spoon and that the rice cereal be very runny. (I'm adding this information in here for all of my friends who are pregnant...lol)
God has given Hayley a lot of strength. Thank you family and friends for lifting up Hayley. Father, Thank you for answering our prayers!
