Stella's Favorite Dog

Stella has recently discovered our dog, Mia, and she loves this dog. She gets so excited when she sees Mia and she loves to scream in delight. Since Stella has really discovered her voice in the past few weeks she is extremely "talkative" and this video represents 98% of the time that she is awake. It's crazy to think that when we were discharged from PCH in August we weren't sure if Stella had much of a voice. The first few months home Stella was a very quiet baby and even her cries were subdued...but this girl has found her voice and SHE IS NOT AFRAID TO USE IT! Stella continues to beat the odds and prove the doctors wrong-this gives us a lot of hope for Stella's bright future.

On another note we got the results of Stella's scope from last Monday and the only thing they could find was that her duodenum had some inflammation. Unfortunately this seems to be a revolving door situation where she needs to stop vomiting so the inflammation can heal itself, but while it's inflamed she will continue to vomit. She is throwing up less (about 2 times a day instead of 12) so hopefully we're making progress with the natural approaches we're taking and we can finally get the vomit rocket under control.
