Shaelyn Update Sept 21

Hey Everyone!!!

Shaelyn is doing awesome.  We actually got a weekend pass to go home-home today.  We have been at the Ronald McDonald House for two weeks tomorrow with her and we got our weekend pass today.  This means that if Shaelyn continues to excel than we could be permently home-home within a very short time (like the next couple of weeks), we will still have to travel down to Sick Kids (an hour and 10 mins away) every week for transplant clinic, not a problem, it means closer to normallity for us.  She is finally beginning to gain weight, up to 8lbs 2oz now.  She was 7lbs 1oz at birth on the 9th of July, then a week later due to her illness she was 6lbs 5oz, then even lower from being so ill but we never actually got a weight on her.  So at 2 months she is under weight but is in the catch up program now and is gaining steadily for now about an ounce a day.  She is on extra calories to gain so quickly.  She has nice round cheeks and thighs...lol.

Anyway this is our update this round, life is becoming busy, but we are loving it!!!
