Another Milestone.....

Yesterday was the mark of yet another milestone. Delaney's home health nurse came by for the last time yesterday, for a health evaluation and weight check on Delaney. It felt like this day would never come. Delaney has received care from the same nurse for nearly one year, every single week and at times, up to 3 times per week. She was there to answer calls at all hours of the day or night, (even at 11pm when Delaney threw up her feeding tube, that she needed for medication and formula). She was there to provide detailed loving nursing care, clarity in confusion, and simply said, she does a job that is a difficult one, to say the least, and one that can only be done by a few. It is not goodbye, just the start of a new chapter. Thank you Rosie. For your care for Delaney, we love you. Little Miss Fierce 's weight is up again another 1.5 oz, a total weight increase of 3oz in a little over a week. She now weighs 30lbs. 12oz. We are very proud of Delaney and her hard work to eat food again. Next, because of the possible side effects from the brain operation, chemotherapy, and radiation Mommy and Daddy set up an evaluation with the Livermore School District for Delaney. This evaluation is a proactive approach to make sure Delaney is on track or remains age appropriate for schooling, and if necessary, to find out what early education resources are available to her. The evaluation was performed by a team from the school district, specializing in many different areas of cognitive development. Upon leaving we were happy and thankful to hear that things seem on track, except for the obvious physical setbacks. We will meet with the team again at the end of the month to go over their findings in detail. Delaney is doing great, she is very happy playing with her brothers, and gaining more of her childhood back each day. She has come so far and in a horrible situation Mommy and Daddy are so very thankful for the outcome all the positive progress she is making. Thank you for all the prayers, love, and support. As always.... GO TEAM DELANEY!!!
