Yesterday was Giselle's one month check up and we got nothing but great news. She weighs 8.1 pounds which is very good news because the hole in heart could have kept her from gaining weight. But it didn't yay! She did get her second Hep B shot and a Synagis shot. She didn't even make a sound with they did the Hep B but the Synagis...oh my god. I couldn't stand that sound. I had never heard her cry like that before yesterday. It was terribly heartbreaking. But it was worth it to here the good news of her growing. Synagis is very expensive. It costs $1500 for the insurance and they are charging us $80 copay on it. And we have to get one every month for 6-9 months. UGH! We are going to call this number tomorrow to see if we qualify for any assistance. If we do, I'll keep you posted on how to get it.

That stands for the Down Syndrome Association of Jacksonville. We finally joined her age group called "Lil' Stars". We haven't gone to any socials yet, the next one is Sept 18 and we may or may not go. I'm nervous because I don't know anyone there. It's weird to meet people on the basis that you only have one thing in common: a child with downs. We ARE trying to raise money for their annual Buddy Walk. It's a one mile walk and all the proceeds go to the association to provide us and other families with free therapies and books. We have been collecting for 4 days and we have $420 so far. I think that's pretty good. The walk is Oct 2. I think I'm going to wait until after the walk to start going to the socials. It will give me a chance to meet people while my family is there as well. Might be a little less stressful. What do you think?
