Hi All
I have posted some new photos but you will have to scroll down to the bottom of the page to view.There is one of me and Gracyn having her first shower, something that we done with Tegan whe he was Gracyn,s age.Also a photo of Gracyn&Jaden, Jaden was Gracyn,s room mate in Wellington Hospital and at the Hutt Secial Care unit.Its good to get the children together sometimes to compare there developement.
Gracyn is now 13lb7oz (6214grms)and rapidly growing out of her premy clothes.We have had a small set back as a few tests have proven that Gracyn has mild hearing loss, more so in the left ear than in the right.We had a meeting with the Hearing development officer last week and she seems to think that with the correct training and stimulation this will not effect her speach.Gracyn has another test in the middle of August to determine wheather she will need hearing aids.Its a good thing that we have cought onto this at this early stage of her life.The out look is good and the statistics say the 95% of these cases the children end up living a normal life.Just another hurdle to get over for the Reid family. We sure can think ourselve,s lucky if this is all that is wrong with our wee Gracyn.
Today Gracyn is trying some baby rice for the first time, another one of those "FIRSTS" to add to the list, she seems to be enjoying it too.

More soon
