Anyka saw Dr. Wang today, who pronounced her palate in excellent shape. A week from Friday, she can start having hard food again! There are no holes though, and her stitches looked good.

Anyka came home today. She is supposed to be in her restraint 24/7 for the next 4 weeks, but there is no way! So we are just watching carefully. I will be home for the next week with her.

Anyka is doing better today. Visits from Vincent, Blake, joyce from Any Baby Can, and Oma have helped. She has several new Elmos and is watching Signing Time practically non stop. She seems to be hurting less though there is still significant swelling in the back of her throat. We'll be here at least one more day. She has no interest in dringing but has begun eating - ice cream, jello, popsicles...
