Keeping up is hard to do

That's a good thing, boys and girls.  It means things are nice and normal and there isn't anything urgent to report.

We created this blog so that those we love who are not near could share with us all the details of Miss Zelie's beginnings and all the related issues.  We've done that.  Now that the details of her life become more personal and more mundane, this seems less and less a valid way to share.

So, I'll give you the quick rundown and then we are going to put the blog away for a while.  There are so many good blogs out there to follow if you want info about Spina Bifida or just about motherhood, there's no need for us to jabber on about us.  Some of my favorites are here, here, here and also here and here.  Give them a look!

Zelie is doing spectacularly well!  She is growing well with no more worries about hydro.  We recently paid a visit to both Orthopedics and Urology and they are also are totally happy with how well she's doing.  No bracing or other gear needed at this time.  We continue with PT/OT on a weekly basis and she's progressing well there.  We are just approaching some major gross motor milestones (crawling, cruising and walking) and are eager to see what she'll show us she can do.  Her most recent adventure has been the discovery of a food allergy, complete with terrifying anaphylatic reaction.  So if you are reading this and we ever come to your house,  no EGGS for the baby!  Otherwise things are only abnormal in direct proportion to the over the top cuteness that Miss Zelie wields to her best advantage.

We are so very grateful that this is all there is to know.  I won't be deleting anything here for a time, but it is time to say farewell for now.

Thank  you, all of you, for all your love, prayers, your concern and your interest.  We have been overwhelmed by all of you and carry you forever in our hearts and speak your names in our prayers.
