Happy New Year!

Addy decided to ring in the new year with lots and lots of eating (and not a whole lot of sleeping).  I think she and I rang in the new year with the lovely people of Alaska, and joined the people of both New Zealand and the Solomon Islands in welcoming January 2nd.  (Did I do that right?  I hate the International Date Line.)

She is continuing to practice her thumb sucking technique.  So far no additional war wounds, but it's still not the soothing activity that it will probably be in a few weeks.  Everything else is going really well with her--her sides look fabulous where she had the skin grafts, her back incision is also looking really good, diapers are consistently wet and dirty, and cath outputs are (generally) nice and low.  There have been a few higher residuals on the cath recently, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with Addy's growth spurt.  Eventually she'll stop eating 24/7, right??

Hope you had a safe and happy new year, and wish you a blessed and successful 2011!
