Quick Update on Hannah & stuff...

I just wanted to do a quick update on Hannah.
We went to the eye doctor yesterday and I am happy to say that everything is looking awesome and perhaps she will not even require glasses later (not that I would hate that but it is nice not to need them)
Hannah has been having issues with weight gain and growth in the last few months, she either holds her weight or she looses.. neither is good for her. She is a very active girl but she should be able to slowly gain weight and grow at a normal rate.. this is not happening. I have talked to the feeding and growth clinic and we have tried a few ideas to fix this. We added calories to her diet, but this made her reflex more and throw up. Since we do not want to have a negative association with eating we had to back off again.. this made her loose some weight and we are back where we started. after discussion on where to go from here, the doctors and I have decide that her reflex needs to be addressed further. He reflex has always been a problem but we have been able to control it with medication up to this point. Her reflex has hindered her growth and her breathing and with that we are being referred to a pediatric GI specialist.. there is only one in Spokane and at first we were going to be scheduled for November... yikes! Luckily God intervened and They had a cancellation while I was on the phone and we will be going in the end of April, otherwise I would have been heading to Seattle for a GI doctor. Until then we will just be keeping an eye on her and playing with her diet a bit to see if we can find some stable ground.
Hannah's speech is delayed by a bit even for corrected age and has a speech therapist that comes in a few times a month to work with her. Hannah also gets to go to a Kindermusik class every week as part of her therapy.. and Cassie gets to come as well, which the both really enjoy.
All of the children are doing well. Micah and Emeline still are enjoying school and Cassie loves it when they are gone. Cassie and Hannah are starting to bug each other on occation. We have had to have many talks about not hitting and sharing with both of them.. and a few time outs :) We are still working on Emeline and her reading, but I know it will come, and she will be on her way reading in no time.
Trent and I are doing great, we get to celebrate our 10th Aniverary April 2nd. We decided that this was reason to celebrate! We are lucky enough that Leanna agreed to come and be with the children so we could get away for the weekend about an hour away in Orifino. We have never been away from the kids for a vacation (hospital stays do not count), and I guess after 10 years, we can do that :) Leanna comes in this weekend and the children are so happy! (so are we)
