We're home from the hospital (well, Children's satellite campus, north of Pgh). All went well. Looking at Eden now you'd never suspect she had just undergone any procedure. They gave her gas to put her to sleep so she didn't even need an IV. We arrived there at 12:45 and arrived at home at 2:45. In fact, I had only been in the waiting room for 10 min. when the Dr. came in to tell me he was done. He said there was a significant amount of fluid in her left ear and a little in her right. We'll go for a hearing test in a few weeks and then see the doctor so that we can discuss the findings.

In other developments (no pun intended), Eden is sitting up by herself very well. And a couple times she managed to push into a sitting position after laying on her side. She just needed a tiny push from me. And just as exciting, yesterday she was purposefully reaching for a toy with her right hand. She was sitting on the floor and the toy was to her right and a little bit behind her. Previously she would have reached for it with her left hand, knocking herself off balance and landing on her nose. But instead she turned at the waist and reached out, shakily, with her right hand. And she did it consistently -- it wasn't an accident :-) So that was very exciting to see. I called it "a glimpse into the future".

Next up for Eden is her 15 mo. check up and her next MRI on 5/25.

Cheers to you all,
