Between Thanksgiving and Christmas 2016

After Halloween, Claire had a bit of a cold and the month of November flew by until it was Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving was full of delicious food celebrated with both sets of grandparents. She even tried the food! But, she didn't like it. She ended up playing while Mom and Dad ate at both thanksgiving meals. Since then, there hasn't been any new news - just lots of activity as Mom finishes her next to last grad school class and teaching semester one of the 2016-2017 school year while Dad works on keeping up with transplant paperwork. 

Most recently, as in the past two weeks, Claire has re-begun the process of being put on the list. This time she being put on the list at Cook's in Ft. Worth instead of San Antonio. She has to be reviewed by a urologist before she can be officially considered by Ft. Worth's transplant committee. Those appointments are set up for the end of December and the beginning of January. As more information is provided to the family regarding the process, the blog will be updated accordingly. 

Besides this, Claire is more active than she has ever been! She is walking on her knees with support. She is eating level three foods (chunky food) with little resistance. She is helping Mom write letters and wrap packages for Christmas. She is stalking Dad for more and more bubbles. She is growing everyday. Just take a look!

Her sister, Amelia, is also growing. No news about that though. Not yet. The next appointment is sometime this week. Any new news will be incorporated into the next blog. 

Much love,

Halloween 2016

October has been busy; not so much in progress, but through general activities including Burleson's Boo Bash which is an annual event like trunk or treating. 

As of right now, there's also still no word (and won't be until February) on transplant. Claire is in a holding pattern until insurance is worked out. Then, we can get her on the transplant list and some new kidneys. 

But she isn't letting that stop her. She's crawling more and more, learning new words (like help, bubbles, doggy, night-night, and balloon), and is starting (a bit) to eat semi-solid foods. She also has a favorite stuffed toy- her Minnie which she calls her "nannie".

She's a marvel and a blast to have around, when she's not having one of her many growth spurts. 

Thank you all for your support!!
