30 Pounds!! | 5,305 Miles
https://stevensadoption.wordpress.com/2013/03/02/30-pounds
March 2, 2013. We have made it! Gigi weighs 30.8 lbs. according to the scales at Dr. E’s office on February 18th. These are the same scales where she measured a whopping 25 lbs. and 2 oz. about nine months ago. Dr. E was quite pleased with the weight gain! I want to hear you speak! 8221; Have I mentioned how much I like Dr. E? I have some really cute videos that I need to get posted somehow. Time to get well and stay that way! One Response to “30 Pounds! March 4, 2013 at 9:40 am. Yeah on all the good news.

Not Normal… | 5,305 Miles
https://stevensadoption.wordpress.com/2013/04/12/not-normal
April 12, 2013. Other than a seamless recovery from surgery, I feel like I have nothing to say. Nothing is new. Nothing is wonderful. Nothing is terrible. What could I have to say that people would want to read about? Then it occurs to me…maybe things are normal! As we approach the one year mark of Gigi’s Gotcha Day, maybe things are starting to feel normal again! You feel like you get the swing of things and then BAM! 2 Responses to “Not Normal…”.

Progress and Expectations… | 5,305 Miles
https://stevensadoption.wordpress.com/2013/02/03/progress-and-expectations
Progress and Expectations…. February 3, 2013. She is definitely “hearing,” but this task of teaching her to look for what made the sound because it means something is a little difficult, but we’re getting better at it every day. We are making sure we tell her “you heard it” while pointing to our ear and whatever made the sound. I love that Sloan tells says “Gigi, I hear you! Sloan joined them, then Beck joined them and for quite some time they played. Gigi played…and she had fun! I am sure they do. I...

Full Speed Ahead… | 5,305 Miles
https://stevensadoption.wordpress.com/2013/04/25/full-speed-ahead
Full Speed Ahead…. April 25, 2013. Last Wednesday, the seventeenth, was activation day for Gigi’s left ear! The garbage truck happened to be out front as we went out the door to get on the bus and was quite loud. She was NOT going out that door! We tried to get her to do this last year, it did not work out. She hated it to say the least. SHe also twisted herself up on the swing and let it untwist! She was working on vocalizing “eee” “eee” “eee” while signing “eat...He also asked if he could sing to her a...

January 22, 2013. We are back, we have eaten, four kids are in bed, I have opened eight boxes, six tiny bags and kept track of four tiny silica gel packets so no one will eat them in the morning, set up a charging and drying station…and now I have time for all of you and twenty minutes to meet my deadline! I don’t think I’ll make it…. As you all know, Gigi’s appointment was at 1:30 and appointments never quite run on time. We started with a tutorial on the equipment, which comes in a suitcase! Speaking o...

Implant Surgery, The Second and Final Ear! | 5,305 Miles
https://stevensadoption.wordpress.com/2013/03/20/thesecondandfinalear
Implant Surgery, The Second and Final Ear! March 20, 2013. Gigi woke up, ate some more bread and drank some water and of course squirmed around until her bandage was half off. We sat her down and took it off so we could get her hair under control with a few pony tails. It was great to see that they shaved much less of her head this time! 8221; Then he sat with her for a minute and rubbed her knee while she cried. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers as always! March 20, 2013 at 7:18 am.

May 9, 2013. I am going to try to have her wear at times when she will be getting the most productive sounds and ease her back in to the world of sound. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Our Summer in Review… | 5,305 Miles
https://stevensadoption.wordpress.com/2013/08/31/our-summer-in-review
Our Summer in Review…. August 31, 2013. I know quite some time has passed since I last updated everyone on Gigi’s progress, but I guess I took a little summer vacation myself! Lucky for you all, I remember everything in detail and according to Dan I can take 40 minutes to summarize a twenty-minute show. “Well, I like to add in the descriptive details,” I say. Her therapy schedule continued as normal for the summer: Speech and Occupational Therapies on Wednesday mornings and Physical Therapy at “The...
