Well, we made it one year! So much has changed and although Molly's growth in her size has not been stellar, her physical and cognitive development has amazed her doctors, her therapists, and all the people who know her story! She came to us weighing just 15 oz., spent 7 1/2 months in the hospital, and finally came home to her family on October 29th, 2007. She weighed just over 8 lbs, did little more than smile and suck her pacifier. She was on oxygen, a feeding tube, and spent most of her day propped up on a wedge. I remember worrying that I wouldn't hear her cry in the night. Now, I sometimes long for those quiet days :-)
Homecoming Day!
One year later......
Today, she's averaging 14 lbs, depending on her eating habits for the day, she's pulling to knees, crawling on all fours, communicating with sounds and sign language, and doing her best to keep up with, if not surpass, her triplet siblings! We could not be prouder of our little miracle!
Here is a look at her first 19 months.
