Molly is Healing

There is a lot going on, but Molly is continuing to feel better by the day.  Jim woke up early yesterday morning and was unable to get a full breath.  He took a shower and then started coughing and there were streaks of blood, so we decided to err on the side of caution and headed off to the ER to get a full evaluation.  Two and a half hours later we left with no answers other than that they didn't think it was pneumonia, or a tumor, etc.  He went to the primary care today and found out it is a condition related to a recent bad cough and he was given a prescription for an inhaler.  We are all glad to have an answer and one that isn't very scary!

Molly has been crawling a few feet at a time and has not needed pain medication, which is wonderful.  She has started "tall kneeling" and when I told her I didn't think it was a good idea she said "look Mommy it's fine it doesn't hurt at all" hard to argue with that!  

We have our preschool meeting tomorrow and we are hopeful that we can all come up with a solution that will help Molly to get the peer-to-peer interaction she definitely needs.  It is wonderful and sad at the same time that she has many invisible friends that follow us around.  She has recently watched the Disney film Mulan and so as of right now Mulan is with us everywhere.  She was working with the PT today and was pretending to tie up a rope for Mulan's carriage - she has no shortage when it comes to imagination!  

Tonight as she was "falling asleep" she was singing and I had to listen closely to hear what it was she was saying - she was singing "cooperation" over and over - she is a constant source of entertainment :)

She woke up very happy today and "She was a robot" (and she uses a robot-like voice) and then we talked about what she ate as a robot.  Everything I listed she said yes to and then laughed very hard.  She loves to be teased and is definitely into finding things that are silly.  One of her favorite books at the moment is "Fluffy, by Helen Lester" which is about a porcupine named fluffy and a Rhinoceros named "Hippo" and she loves the humor in it.  She just loves games and being teased and will say "You Tease Me" or "Be Silly Again" etc.  When she isn't battling with me over every action of the day I really do enjoy her thoroughly!
