Day +71: feeling better

Mina Brigitta had a much better day today. No vomiting, thanks to two doses of Kytril, and generally in much better spirits. She wasn't as clingy as during the past couple of days, and tonight she actually got a little bit wired. She was walking around and around the house babbling. And she ate two pretty good meals in the afternoon/evening. She still demands near-constant attention; Keri and Lyn were taking care of house chores much of the day, so I was on Mina duty pretty much full time, and I'm exhausted.

The house is mostly in place now, still some hospital items to be put away, and I have to install the baby gate above our super steep stairs tomorrow. I'm not so worried about Mina Brigitta; she was afraid of the stairs right away, and wouldn't walk past them without holding someone's hand at first. Then I taught her to put her butt against the wall and inch along sideways, so that works pretty well for her. But Isaac is getting up on all fours a lot these days, and he loves to pull himself up on chairs or whatever he can find. Now that he's no longer sitting on a hospital bed for hours on end, he'll probably be crawling within the next couple of weeks.
