Awww Man!

Hi all! "Awww man" is Jodi's latest phrase that she is copying from Dora the Explorer. We're so proud because she even says it with a Southern accent! She is imitating alot of words and phrases and tries to use some English. What a doll! We've had a great week with her. She got to play with her friend Keri again this week and had a blast. She just adores her new friend. Jodi can't quite pronounce Keri's name since she has no "r"s in her vocabulary. She also got into a pool for the first time this week and LOVED it. I had a hard time getting her out of the water! We went to the pool when our good therapy friends Lana, Heather, and Haley from Randolph Hospital were there. Jodi had so much fun playing with them and even kicked her legs and moved her arms around in the water. We're thrilled that she likes the water and we'll try to get some pictures next time.

We are moving right along with her medical needs. We get bloodwork done this coming week. The following week is her comprehensive MRI which will last about 2 hours. She will have to be under anesthesia which we hate but it's very necessary. It will be a long 2 hours! The next day we see her neurosurgeon at Wake Forest who is supposed to be wonderful. We were thrilled that we got in that quickly to see him. We'll keep you updated as we go and thank you for your continued prayers for her.
