update on Stela


Stela has been doing so well! She had an ultra sound on her kidneys, ( she had surgery on them at 6 months old) and they look great! Her right kidney still has a lot of fluid in it, but they said that it is to be expected. Her ENT said her ears look good as well. She had a well baby check up and she is on the charts! She is in the 20th for her weight and the 5th for her height. I know she is still small, but she is on the charts and that is a hupe accomplishment for her! Poor, thing, we can't even walk into a place that even remotely looks like a doctors office and she crys from the second we open the door until the second we leave! She is also about to walk. She is very fiesty! She loves to tease her brother and do whatever he is doing. She is surprising a lot of people, but Rene and I knew she was stubborn and determined- and that she definately is!

Hi Melissa! I'm so happy to hear that Stela is doing so well. You are such a good mom. I love your positive outlook - right from the beginning. It's good to be able to stay connected through the blog. Say hi to everyone down there for me!

I am so glad that you have a blog too! I think it is easier to keep in touch with this than Myspace....I'm actually pretty tired of that.

It is so great the Stela is doing so well. It has been so long since we have seen you. I'm sure that since we live in Safford now, it will be a little easier to keep in touch!
