Addie had her check up with the GI specialist today. She is thriving again! She gained 2 lbs. in the last month so she weighs just over 14 lbs. now. She's still in the 75th percentile. She is keeping most of her feeds down and her feeding aversion is getting better. We still keep her swaddled while she's eating and I do therapy with her to help with her suck/swallow/breathe coordination, but she is improving.
We have a pretty solid routine worked out and everyone seems to be doing well with it. Lexi has slept through the night for 3 whole nights (hey man - after 5 months of her getting up every night, we'll take it!). She fell out of her bed once, but that doesn't really count since she went right back to sleep. Addie wakes up once between 3 and 4:30 and eats in about 20 minutes. She sleeps until 7:30 or 8 in the morning most days. All in all, not a bad deal right now.
*****************************************************
The Excursion was classified as a "non-insured motorist hit and run" so the deductible was dropped from $500 to $250 and we get a rental car. That means we can get it fixed and it won't mess up our myriad of doctor appointments next week either. The only kink is that I want something comparable to the Excursion to fit all of our strollers and stuff. Plus, we have more family coming to visit and will really need the seat space. If they can't get me a suburban or tahoe or something like it, I'll have to wait until everyone leaves to have the Excursion fixed. But, either way, the vehicle is getting repaired for 1/2 of what we thought it would be and we get the bonus wheels.

Oh, what good news on Addie! We're so glad she's doing better on her feeds and putting on weight!
And good news on getting the Excursion fixed! Light at the end of the tunnel!
Yea Addie we are so proud of you! Isn't it funny how one feed in the middle of the night is like a miracle compared to the pre routine life!
I had to fight the insurance people on the whole comprable car thing when we had to have the Durango repaired after being hit by a cop; it was a hassel, but hello; it only makes sense since you insure an Excursion why should your rental car be less! Bring out crazy Mama if you have too!
I am so glad that things are finally looking up for you! It's only going to get better from here on out!
