Glad to hear that Becca's outside butt is better. Hope the cramping part goes away soon!

Hope the new chair will prevent any more "scooting" from Becca!

We'll keep you all in our prayers!

OK. This should make my 10th post. I need to come out of lurkdom more often I guess. hahaha

Hi Mandy,
I was finally able to post a reply back as a PM. I'm so glad the package arrived and Becca enjoyed the items. I'll try to remember to check for PMs every now and then. I'm still more of a lurker on the boards than a poster!

Wow, I haven't been on a few days and it seems like Becca has made a lot of progress. Yay!!!

I haven't checked the thread or website since yesterday morning and look at everything I missed! Here is my happy dance for the removal of the brain drain, the improvement in the butt area and the big advances in speech -

Thanks for the wonderful update Mandy!

Thank you all for the continued good wishes.
It is so good having our little girl back with us. We still have the occasional cries and moans with the butt cramps and the vampire rounds but her overall demeanor has changed lots, even her sense of humor is returning which pleases David no end as he really gets a kick out of teasing her.
When she takes naps during the day we wish her "night, night", she says no, "day, day" with a big silly smile on her face.
The fire alarm has just started sounding somewhere in the hospital and shes laid in bed with a smile on her face saying "fire, fire, run for your lives"

GOOOOOOOOOO Becca!!! WHOO HOOO!!

I am thrilled to hear that she is cracking you up! You must be so happy!!!

I remember when Mark had surgery to redirect the flow of saliva in his mouth (basically to stop his persistent drolling, at age 5). It was painful for him, and his mouth swelled up in such a huge way that he could not speak. He is incredibly verbal and was very advanced in his speeach at that time. To have him unable to communicate was dreadful for him, and for me. I had always harboured this fear that something bad would happen with his speech with this surgery and I waited and waited for his first clear words.

they came on my birthday. we were still in hospital and he realized that no one had done anything to celebrate. So...he insisted on singing me Happy Birthday, then playing the "are you 1? Are you 2?' game...except it soudned like "ah oo uh, ar oo poo", and I know it hurt. I kept telling him it was OK to stop, but he wouldn't. That little sweetheart went all the way up to 43!!!

What a relief to see our children coming back to us!

I'll keep praying!

vampire rounds...

If it wasn't so horrible, it would be hilarious! Vampire rounds...

Even her sense of humor is returning which pleases David no end as he really gets a kick out of teasing her.

Tell her we will send the firemen to save them all!!



I am so, so happy that Becca is back!!! Woo Hoo!

Becca has finally had her hair all cut off, she is so relieved to get rid of it after all of this time.
Nearly four weeks of it being matted and knotted with who knows what was in it.
Two nurses, Lord knows how many standby-ers/watchers and 30 minutes later and hey presto Becca has a cute little pixie cut

She says she feels so much better now because her hair doesnt pull every time she turns her head just a little.

Ah...

That makes me feel better for her just thinking about it!

Do we get a picture of her new haircut?

I am so glad she is doing so well!!!!

 

[coteau_chick]

I bet Becca's hair will grow back even more beautiful than it ever was. I am soooooooooooo glad to hear she is doing better. I have been praying for her and so has my mom.

 

[jenb1023]

I bet she looks great in her new pixie cut! I am so glad that all of the updates lately have been good ones!

 

[p00h4me]

I'm glad that Becca is feeling better having her hair cut. I'm sure she looks really cute. She can always let it grow back out again! Glad she's back to her old sense of humor! I don't blame her about not liking all those pokes every day. I wouldn't want them either!
