Mommy is almost cured! She still has her cough, but her voice is back!
I am congested and feeling yucky. It's hard to breathe when you have laryngomalacia and congestion!!
I am still eating like a "piggy girl" and Mommy hopes that I am gaining weight. I am getting really tall and it makes me look more skinny.
Guess what? B has PINK EYE! Mommy can't figure out how he got it because he doesn't go many places. She guesses he got it from going to the doctor with me. So now he is getting the medicine in his eyes. He screams and throws a fit. BOYS! I thought they were supposed to be tough!!
Tomorrow I get my splint. I'll let you know how it goes.

Hi Everyone! This is Carleigh! My mommy usually does the updates, but she is sick. She has a really bad sore throat and has almost lost her voice, so I get to do the talking. :o)
I went to the doctor yesterday. I weigh 8 lbs. 4 ozs. and am 22 inches tall. I didn't get in trouble for my weight this time. The doctor said I am gaining a little or at least maintaining and the doctor said I was a pretty pinkish color, so she's not going to worry about me. Whew!!
Also, I got my second round of immunizations. I was so little and cute that the nurse didn't want to give them to me. She didn't want to make me cry. She finally gave them to me, but I only cried a little. I'm such a big girl!
B got his stitches taken out of his face and he made more of a fuss than I did! He was screaming that he wanted Daddy and he wanted to go home.
Later in the day I went to see the geneticist. She was impressed with my pretty pink color and with how much I have grown. The last time she saw me was December 31st and I was a lot smaller then. She was surprised to know that I had been through two surgeries and had had RSV. She just talked with Mommy most of the time (Mommy had a little bit of voice left then) and she also took pictures of me and B so she can remember what we look like.
Well, that's about all for my doctor visits. We will see an orthopedist tomorrow, so there will be another update then. Maybe mommy's voice will still be gone. I hope so, 'cause getting to type is fun!! :o)
Hugs to all my Internet friends,
Carleigh Lauryn Grace (almost 5 months old now!!)

We've had a great first day without the IV! Carleigh is tolerating her
32 ccs. of milk with no problems. We will stay at 32 ccs. until she gains more
weight. We can't overload her heart with liquids.
I'm noticing that she is becoming much more alert. She doesn't sleep as much and loves to just look around. She has a fondness for lights and will just stare at them! She is still enjoying her big brother. As soon as he touches her head she just gets this calm look on her face. He is so proud of her!!
