Week 3...Just Keep Moving Along.

Well, we certainly had a much better week this week. Despite having more tape added to her treatment, she is tolerating it pretty well. Before the one piece of tape across the top of her lip (called a "mustache" for obvious reasons) was pulling her upper jaw in one direction. The addition of a second piece of mustache now pulls her upper jaw in both directions...inward, toward the middle of her nose. This is going to further her progress.

How is her progress you ask? Well, when Kaylee was born her cleft was measured. It measured 12 millimeters. Since we started her NAM treatment her cleft has been reduced by 4 millimeters. So now, she is at 8 millimeters. Her dentist said that she didn't expect that kind of movement yet, and she is very glad that Kaylee, myself and Grant are so dedicated to making this treatment work.

Tomorrow we begin week 4 of her NAM treatment. In addition to that my Monster is getting her first shots. All in the same day, all due to scheduling conflicts with her doctors. I wanted to do them each on different days to avoid having the most pissed off two month old in the world tomorrow, but it didn't work for them. So, oh well I suppose. Oh, Kaylee had her weigh in last week with her nutritionist...11lbs and 12oz. She has gained almost 3 pounds since birth, and is the 76th percentile (out of 100 2 month olds she is heavier than 76 of them). This is a good thing, it means she is healthy.

Anyway, without further ado...here is her 3rd week picture. And a few of her smiling just to lighten up the day!

Week Three.

Smiling at Mommy.

 Just a little grin.
