Sleepy girl

This morning they struggled to get blood from Gesina (it took 3 nurses and more than a few pin pricks) so by the time we got there, she was exhausted and slept the whole time. They are running tests to see if she has any metabolism problems. This the final domain to check as a cause of her stroke and seizures. We hope the tests all come back negative as there is no cure for any metabolism issues. I'm trying not to hold my breath on this but as Sagesmoon has noted, I'm a mom and that is just what we do ;-) Even in her sleep though, Gesina was adorable and I got to hold her. She spends a lot of time stretching and today, smiling. I know its still just gas that makes her smile but in another 2 weeks, they say her smiles will be genuine. I figure I got a sneak peek at what she looks like smiling and it made me happy.

Thanks again to everyone for supporting me through all this. Your comments have been known to make me smile and most importantly, make me feel like I'm not alone. It's nice to feel understood even if I've never even met some of you in person! I've realized that we are all connected, if not through face-to-face interaction than by being parents.
