Jumping Jumping Hakadakadare

Proof that Anara is finally eating

And gaining weight

(her stoma is on the left, suprapubic is the white tube hanging down

and the G-tube is the clear button on her belly)

Further proof of Anara's "Hub"ishness

And againTea with a stranger at the museum Riding the "horsies"

Anara is actually enjoying bathtime (as long as we don't wash hair)

Violet's special dance

I have no idea what the subject line actually means but it is Violet's new, favorite game. She holds hands with anyone willing to play and starts jumping in a circle chanting, "Jumping jumping hakadakadare, jumping jumping hakadakadare." Anara likes to play as long as there is an adult involved and she isn't being drug across the floor by Violet.

This afternoon we are going to see Anara's urologist to have him inspect her suprapubic site. The skin is kind of nasty and seems to be pulling away from the tube. In other news, there are three possibilites for the catheterizing problem: 1. it might fix itself eventually, 2. maybe it is a small lip that he can knick with a scope, or 3. maybe it will require another surgery. We won't know for another couple months. We are waiting for the channel to heal more, her bladder to stretch and hold more urine, and to see if we continue having trouble catheterizing her when her bladder contains more than 100ml. We are praying for the 1st possibility and that God will resolve things without further surgery.
