that is fun and I just love it.
And then the biggest blessing........Celina and myself are leaving on the 22. June for Germany to see the family for 2 month. Clint is coming a little later. We will all be back on the 21. August.
And then we might also soon start with the hippo therapy(horse riding) again. I might push this until we are back from Germany.
Celina had a good year so far. No sickness and we are going slowly forward with the oral feeds and also have started with oral drinking again. What we found out during the whole feeding thing is that Celina's digestion slows down considerately with the introduction of animal proteins in form of fish. Eggs are fine. They are also much easier to digest. When we started with the fish she just had a stool every 5 days. We then started giving her some ground linseeds with it. It seems to slowly get a little better. All in all it is a very slow process and it will probably still take a while before we are rid of the NG tube. We haven't even yet started her on chicken or meat.
Another good news is that I will learn how to insert the NG(nasal gastric) tube myself. Exiting!!! Celina has also put on quite a bit of weight and looks really good. Due to the heat we experienced over the last couple of weeks she has picked up a quite nice tan too.
The other new thing is that Celina makes more sounds and they are more and more appropriate. Her eye communication is also continuously progressing. I started speaking German with her again so she is not going to have a language shock when we go to Germany in 3 month.
School is going well and there are a lot of craft works of Celina on the classroom walls which hasn't been the case last year because of all her hospital stays.
So, like you can see we are very busy.
And oh yes another thing. We found a new orthodontist after finding out that our one had left the country. And now Celina is getting another palate plate to sort out her mouth, teeth,tongue, lips to get her mouth to close again. That is also very exiting. This could make a huge difference to her eating and drinking and also help her develop speech.

Keep on following the blog to see what is happening in this excitement promising year.
It started blessed and I believe it will end even more blessed ...... abundantly blessed.
Thank you Lord for this is the year that the Lord has made and we will be glad in it.
THANK YOU LORD FOR ALL THE BLESSINGS, HEALING, PROSPERITY AND MUCH MORE WE ARE ABLE TO RECEIVE BECAUSE YOU GAVE YOUR ONLY BEGOTTEN SON JESUS CHRIST. MOSTLY THANK YOU FOR OUR SALVATION WHICH CHANGED OUR LIVES SO AMAZINGLY.
