Better Days

     I'm excited to report that this last week or so has been full of much better days!  Molly has been back to her normal funny, busy, happy self.  She's been keeping me on my toes and for that I'm grateful! She has been into everything, putting the cat food in the water bowl, playing in the toilet (gross, I know), digging out all of my ribbon and unrolling it, you know, the usual toddler antics.  God has definitely answered some prayers!  She's been eating better and she's back to feeding herself. She's learned to take her pants off and oh what fun that is...I guess she just be running around with no pants for a while. That is, as long as she leaves the diaper on...or maybe I should just potty train her, she asks to go.

     We had her first eye appointment on Wednesday. Her eyes looked great!! Praise the Lord! The eye doctor asked about all of her symptoms and when it started, based on all of that info he said it was unlikely her eyes would be affected (effected?). That's great news! Although, the possibility is there, so, she will continue to have eye appointments every 3 months for now, just to be sure.

    She did get her first injection at home on Tuesday. We all survived, LOL, and she doesn't hate me!! Ok, not that I thought she would, but it's hard to stick my little runt of a child with a needle.   We'll have to do it again in a few days...not looking forward to it, but she's definitely a resilient child.  I hope she's beginning to understand that we're not trying to be mean, just trying to ease the pain...we talk about it fairly often.

I am truly enjoying and cherishing these better days we've been having, we don't know when Hot TaMolly will have another arthritis flare up and we're due for another fever in a couple of weeks. So for now, we're cramming in lots of fun play dates, park days, the splash pad, maybe some strawberry picking, and hours in the sun.

  1. Kim I must say reading this in the blog is different than a bit here and there on FB. I knew Mollys problems before but am sitting here with tears in my eyes reading all 3 of the stories. I am glad that you are writing this blog now, but I look forward to MANY BETTER DAYS for Hot Ta Molly & you all.
