We went to Argonaut Elementary School over the weekend and snapped some photos of the whole fam with our "good" camera. Wow - what a difference the camera makes. Dave and I had decided not to bring it with us to China since it weighs as much as a small child :-).
Lily has an appointment tomorrow with Dr. Lloyd, our pediatrician. Hoping and praying for a clean bill of health. She has some other issues (besides the cleft lip and palate) that I want to ask him about. Namely a hernia that is unrepaired (but does not seem to bother her), and also her bottom ribs flare out a little. We have not heard yet from ENT or pulmonology as of yet. Also, today I took her to see the cranial sacral therapist for a consult. Dr. Skinner was confident that with 4-6 visits, there should be noticeable improvement in Lily's head shape. I asked her how it worked and apparently CST uses the fluids of the body (going with the flow of them) to help the body decompress and do what it is trying to do anyway. Sounds really. . . ODD. But I think we will give it a try as it is very very gentle, and I have known many mamas who have benefited from it (or their children have). I am going to for sure take before and after photos and see what happens.
Otherwise, Lily is doing well. We are still adjusting over here to having one more member of the family. I am tired. And there is still so much catching up to be done with laundry and unpacking and the boys' schoolwork. Next week should be better.
