Thea Preston Kaydee: My first big challenge

Tuesday

My first big challenge

Things seemed to be going just fine, but then the doctor told my moms that he had a health concern and needed to run some important tests. It was kind of scary! I had to get lots of blood drawn, a spinal tap, and have an IV put in so that I could start receiving medicine.

We kept spending time together as a family, and the hospital staff moved us to a new room where we had plenty of privacy and great care.

Fun Facts

Thea arrived September 17th 2017. She's now ONE YEAR OLD!! She loves her doggie Kopper, being outside, storytime at the library, Cookie Monster, turning the pages of books, playing with various toys especially rolling and trying to toss balls, riding in carts at the store, discovering new things like how to somersault, and especially her big sister! At 12 months she was a very active crawler, and within a week after her birthday she began walking. Now she's a pro! She also puts everything in her mouth (esp. fuzzies from the rug or chair cushions) and is very adventurous - pulling open drawers, cabinets, climbing up on furniture and she is thrilled when we let her climb the stairs... She's also starting to chat more, and can tell you what the doggie says and the kitty, and sometimes even the duck and the lion. Some of her words these days: Eloise ("Eh-o-eeez"), Ma-Ma, Yes ("Uhh-ss"), and howling like the doggie. Observant, happy, healthy, beautiful, active & daring are some of the words to describe our precious girl!
