Hey everyone
Phoenix is doing well : ) She started to lift up her head off the floor yesterday during her very limited tummy time! She is starting to try to grasp things with her right hand, but her left hand is still very confused. She has a fair amount of movement in her left side but nothing that seems to be intentional. She seemed to realize yesterday that there are things she used to be able to do that she can't do now and it was upsetting her. She does not support herself on her legs AT ALL, which is hard for us to see because she has been putting weight on her legs and holding her head up since she was born. She is gaining weight and that is a blessing - that child has weighed the same since December and had not gained an ounce while on tegretol.
Continue to pray for Sonja, she has no idea about babies and this is still a crazy experience.
Pray for peace and patience for us. Mostly peace. It is very hard to not go Mother Bear on the entire world. Who knew that something that tiny that you have only known for 6 months could envoke the kind of passion and emotion that we have felt these past few weeks?
Your prayers and support thus far have been amazing and I cannot thank you enough. Phoenix is improving every day and I have no doubt in my mind that it is due to the constant blanket of prayer surrounding her.
Love
Shell Allen and Phoenix
