.she looks happy that her tube is out....can't blame her...they may be able to take her across to the suite in the hotel part where they have been living...and talking about breast feeding her.
Mum has still been expressing and Cow and gate added to the tube,so lets hope..

What lovely news, both families must be encouraged by what is happening.

I hope both little girls go from strength to strength and will do all they are able as time goes on.

Christmas miracles for them both.

I am really delighted for both families. May they continue to experience progress.

Wonderful news about Katie, the whole family must be delighted. May she go from strength to strength.

Esme may be behind in her development at the moment but attempting to pick up a toy is quite an achievement.

Shows that she has the ability to see.
That she is interested on what she can see.
That she is aware that she has got hands at the end of her arms.
That these hands/arms can be used to reach.
That her hands/fingers/thumbs can be used to pick up something.
That she is bothered enough to give it a try.

Big smiles all round :-) :-) :-) :-) Plus love and hugs for being so tremendous.

EDIT
. Have erased my rather long-winded advice.
I haven't seen Esme, therefore on futher thought I realise that it is not a good idea for me to give advice about her.

May her progress continue -





:-) :-) :-)

Fantastic news <3

A little Christmas miracle. What a blessing and wonderful news. I hope that both special little babies will improve daily and their families can enjoy Christmas together.

Such lovely positive news, so welcome anytime, but especially just before Christmas.
It sounds as if both little girls have come a long way already.

Wonderful news about little Katie a lovely Christmas Miracle indeed.
Well done Little Esme picking up a toy is a great hurdle long may it continue for both little ones.
We also are so lucky to have a Healthy Lovely Christmas Baby


Christmas Blessings to Both families :-)

I've been following your thread with hope Brenda, not daring to post as it is too close to home. Thank the Lord your little one is at last showing positive signs. I wish her and her mummy and daddy all the best - and her grands of course. <3

L inda, bless little Esme. Sounds good to hear she is trying to pick up a toy, she is obviously taking notice of things. It is lovely that she is coming to stay and you will all be spending Christmas together. Love to you all <3 <3

Aww Brenda what a fantastic Christmas present. I am so happy for all your family. Katie is amazing, and I have to say looking gorgeous on the picture.

Love Sylvia <3 <3

Wonderful news Brenda and just in time for Christmas. :-D <3

Brilliant news Brenda..........Enjoy Xmas now..... <3 <3

Fantastic News Brenda <3 <3 <3 to you and yours <3 :-)

Wonderful news, Brenda - every step forward is such good news.

Oh good news Brenda a lovely Christmas present for you all.

Linda picking up a toy is progress bless little Esme too, enjoy Christmas with her.

Oh that is fantastic news Brenda. It is lovely that they are now able to pick her up

Esme is much the same, still being fed through the tube. She has an appointment in January to see about having a stomach tube put in, so the nasal tube can be removed, that would make life much easier all round. This week, she started playing with a toy, trying to pick it up, that is a great improvement, but is well behind when she should have been doing it,she is officially developmentally delayed.

She is coming to stay later in the week and then we are joining up with the other grandparents so we can all spend Christmas together

Brenda that's wonderful news <3
