I can't believe we've been here 44 days!! I am actually starting to get a little homesick, but I am not going home without Alyvia. She is still making daily progress, she put a french fry in her mouth, which doesn't seem like much, but it was really hard for her to do. She also said a few words today: mommy, sick and beep-beep-beep. She still gets really agitated and the only thing that sometimes calms here down is when I sing to her....so the lucky nurses have to listen to me sing all the time!! haha! Livie's lumbar drain is still working....the next step will be to see if her brain/spine is making and using the spinal fluid as its supposed to or if she will need a brain shunt to regulate it.

You have got to be the most amazing mom! I'm so glad to hear she is progressing. Thanks for posting!
My name is Toni Segars my dad is Tom Archer your husband works with him. I have asked my dad for updates on Alyvia and he gave me this website. I was wondering if you would mind if I gave it to my mommy group. They are a wonderful group of ladies they all pitched in for the quilt. If you do not want me to give out the website I understand. You and your family are in our prayers. Alyvia is a beautiful little girl. GOD BLESS YOU.
