So 2 Out of 3 Isn't Too Bad


Today's check up left us with some good news and some not so good news that we had expected.

First, Zoe has grown in the way of height and head circumference so that she is now on the chart, albeit 5%, but on the chart. Her weight however, is now no longer on the chart. Due to the lack of interest in eating or the refusal to eat she is weighing in at 12lb and 1oz. Though Zoe looks good, this is a great cause of worry as she has only gained a couple of ounces in the past 3 weeks. We hope that the test next week can shed some light on what is going on and the doctor would like us to make some more dietary changes after that in order to see what interests Zoe.

We have a follow up visit with Zoe's neurologist, we expect it to be pretty routine and don't expect any big news.

We are also seeing the beginnings of the first tooth. As you can see from the picture anything and everything is making its way into the little one's mouth.

Please continue to keep Zoe in your prayers as we continue to work with her development and her eating.

A Quick Update

Hello, I just wanted to drop quick update with what I have been up to.

We had therapy last week and today and both therapists have been happy with the progress I have made. I am grabbing on to my toys, lifting my head, and improving my head control. All very good things I am told. We have a few things to keep working on like rolling over, strengthening the left side of my body, and sitting on my own.

Eating still isn't my forte but we have a test in a couple of weeks to see what my muscles do as I am eating. Hopefully this will help the therapist and doctors figure out how to make eating easier for all of us.

It has been quite rainy so no walks, but I am looking forward to some sunshine soon. I hope you all get to enjoy the summer wherever you are.

How Blessed Indeed


We are happy to have celebrated Zoe's baptism with our family, friends and church. It was a wonderful reminder of God's awesome power in faith and in life.

Amidst all the celebration and guests, Zoe was a wonderful trooper through it all. During the affirmation Zoe gave a couple of smiles and even folded her hands for prayer.

We want to thank everyone who have and continue to pray with us. It is truly an awesome gift the Lord has given us.

God's blessings to you all and good evening,

Casmer Family
