Everyday I get a little bit stronger

I woke up twice during the night last night and the second time I took some tylenol with codeine for my pain. Mommy and Pawpaw Speedy keep trying to get me to eat but I told them "I don't like food." I will take 1 or 2 bites and then I will chew the food and spit it out. Pawpaw has been pulling me around the yard in my red wagon so I can get some fresh air. I am getting stronger and walking more stable. Since mommy is so worried about me tripping and falling down (since my feet are pronated I fall down all the time)  she has to keep a very close eye on me. She doesn't want me to hurt my belly boo boo. When I played with my baby dolls today I played pretend hospital. I listened to their hearts and stomachs, and even took their temperature and gave them medicine. Since I can't get my incision wet yet I have to take baths in the sink with just a little bit of water. Mommy says she will never take simple things for granted ever again. Like being able to just pick me up without thinking about stretching my belly and hurting me, paying close attention to everything I drink and eat to make sure I don't get malnurished, having to weigh each and every diaper, being able to play in the bath tub with me, dressing me in pajamas instead of a hospital gown, sleeping in our own bed and using our own bathroom. It is so nice to be home with all my toys. Tomorrow mommy is going to collect all the toys I don't play with anymore and get them ready to donate to the hosiptal's toyroom so other sick kids can play with them too. Mom's friend Mandy John is orgainizing a raffle for a fundraiser to help with my medical bills. She even set up a bank account named Addison Gautreau Benefit Account at Bankcorp South for people to make donations. Mommy had Southern Belle t-shirts made to sell too. They are purple and say "Real Southern Belles know Blessings come in small packages" and on the front they say "I wear purple for Addison Gautreau" Purple is the national color for prematurity so that is why mommy picked that color. I also have a team for the March for Babies walk for March of Dimes. The walk is on April 28,2012. You can make a donation to our team at http://www.marchforbabies.org/team/t1761063 . Or sign up to walk with us. Thanks again everyone for all your prayers.
