Abby spent some more quality time in her swing today. She had a very busy day. They shut off her feeds at 8 AM (not what they had told us yesterday) and Speech Therapy came by at 11:15 to watch Abby take a (small - 1/2 oz) bottle like a pro!!! Later in the day they shut her feeds off again, this time for an hour - and Abby took a 1 oz bottle - again - like a pro! Everyone was thrilled.
We also had a Physical Therapist and Occupational Therapist come by and do an evaluation. They gave us some exercises we can do with her to help with her muscle tone. We'll see them 2-3 times a week while we're in-patients.
We moved rooms this afternoon since a new patient was coming in with need of a room in isolation - so we lost our own room - but this roommate is a very nice family who speak English - no telenuvelas in our predictable future. Plus our new room looks out over the roof where the helicopters land - so from time to time there is much excitement out the window!

Hi Chris and Linzy,
I am Christina Rose's older sister.
I just wanted to let you know I have been following the story of your precious angel, Abby, and praying for both her and you during all of the ups and downs of the past few weeks. It is incredible to see how much progress she has made!! She is a lucky little girl to have parents as dedicated and loving as the two of you.
I will continue to pray to God to give you strength, and also to pray that Abby will continue to get better and better every day :-)
Love and best wishes,
Allison
Hooray for more good news and what an adorable picture! Am I the only one who sees the striking resemblance to Tweetie Bird?

This is the sweetest picture of Abby! I just want to squeeze her!
Love you guys, Liv :)
Abby looks great here! I am sorry you lost your own room but I know that means you are getting better fast! Now what does Mom sleep on?
That face is priceless. She' so saying "get me the heck out of here mom!" Such a cutie. I just want to give her lots of kisses! Come home Abby, come home!
Way to go Abby! Keep sucking those babas down and show your pulmonologist whose boss! Lila got her helmut yesterday and we "celebrated" by going to the outlets. We picked you up a little something that we'll get off in the mail to you! We need to get you back into your own sweet clothes! Lots of love to you, Mommy, Daddy and Grandma Cindy if she's still with you!!!
Love all the Fioritas
Chris -
It has been a long time since Champlain, but I am so glad to have connected on Facebook and I am addicted to your blog. Your little girl is an angel and you and your wife have to be two of the most positive, strong people in the world. You guys are in my prayers and I love reading of Abby's progress!
Lots of Love-
Shelly (Viering) Walsh
