Another Check Up


Today Zoe had her routine check up. For the most part things are going very well and the pediatrician is happy with her progress. She is currently 10 lbs 14 oz and 22 1/4 inches. She is growing at a nice steady rate and is still going to be short like her mom.
We also found out we will be seeing some other specialists. There is concern that Zoe's diet may need to change once again due to some anomalies found in a urine test done. The doctor wants to make sure she is getting all she needs so she can reach her full potential with her development.
The other specialist we will be seeing is a GI doctor. We are hoping to finally get this acid reflux/spitting up situation under control. It is hard to believe that such a face could cause such a mess.
We pray that whatever changes made, Zoe has an easy time of it and that the doctors can find a solution quickly.

Six Months Old!


Today is my 6 month birthday. I have come along quite a bit and can do new things every day.

I can now smile and have started to laugh. I like to follow things around, especially my daddy's face. I like reaching for things like my rings and will even play with my Mortimer the Moose. Reading is fun, but only when I am getting sleepy otherwise I want to look around and see everything. I love the feeling of the breeze on my face, makes me grin every time. The best part of my week is still bath time. I can't wait to go swimming.

I got to visit some of my favorite nurses at the hospital last week. Oh I missed them so much but am really happy to not have to hear those beeps anymore. It is kind of nice to have just my mommy do all the changing and cleaning up now.

I have done quite a bit these past six months and have some big plans for the next. I can't wait!

Happy Spring Days


Hello All,

Life here in Zoe's world is becoming more and more routine and seeing her grow and change each day is a joy. As of last Thursday Zoe was 9 lbs and 13 oz, finally out of newborn clothing.

We continue to work with Zoe on her milestones. We hope we can keep her on track with the help of her therapists. She is showing the beginnings of a purposeful smile and is working on that head control. All wonderful steps to be thankful for.

The next few weeks will be quiet ones as we have no major doctors' appointments, no complaints here.

We hope you all enjoy the spring weather wherever you are and thank you for continuing to keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Post Easter Update

We hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter. We felt especially joyful as we received some great news on Thursday.

We did finally get the results of Zoe's tests. The EEG found that there are currently no seizures. This is great, so hopefully her development will not be hindered by this.
Her blood tests also showed she did not have a bleeding disorder. So all great news and we are hopeful for what Zoe can do in the future.

Life continues on in the Casmer home. We look forward to warmer weather and being out and about. We are slowly lifting the quarantine and we should be soon making our way out in the world.

Have a blessed Spring,

Kimberly
