Taylor, one of her NICU buddies, came over with his mom Natasha to visit from Penticton, it is nice seeing them when they are down for clinics at Childrens hospital. It is cute to see how intrigued Gemma gets with other little people. It is nice relating to other parents who know what it is like to have a complex child and all the medical lingo. One of the only perks of being in the NICU so long, developing life long friendships.
On the 8th Gemma surprised me with a cute Mothers Day card. Last year Gem was in hospital so we didn't feel like celebrating, this felt like the first real Mothers Day, having my little girl at home. It was really special :)
A few of Gemma's hospital primaries (Laura & Doug) came to visit this month, it was really great to have them come over and see Gemma at home. We are so grateful for everything that our primaries did for us in hospital, helping, supporting and advocating for us for many months. We put together a photobook of Gem's hospital journey to give them.
Gemma has been sitting up more in her 'high-low' base since having some adjustments made and a new tray added. And her custom foamed tumbleform chair, in purple of course.
Now that Spring is here we have been working on creating 'Gemma's Garden', a private oasis for us to enjoy with her over the Summer. There is a cement walkway that is perfect to wheel her around on and we plan on having a ramp installed and doing some gardening in the back. We are going to put in a tent/gazebo with some lawn furniture, some bird feeders and install some fountains. We look forward to it.
