Medical issues and updates

Well, Flynn's tests came back yesterday positive for Giardia. She is not symptomatic and "presents" as healthy and comfortable. I understand it's common in little ones to be relatively asymptomatic - which is a blessing for the sake of her comfort as she adapts to her new environment. She looks beautiful and round and rosy, and is as smiley and dance-y and giggly as ever, and continues to put on weight, so I am not too worried about her!
My tests are not back yet, but the likelihood is that that's what I have as well. Mike will be tested too, even though he's been feeling healthy, just to make sure we don't keep passing it around!
This is unfortunate, but certainly "comes with the territory" when it comes to this kind of travel. We went out to the special pharmacy this afternoon to get Flynn's compounded prescription, and she has started her course of medicine, so hopefully soon we will all be on the road to health again! I feel bad for my mother who is coming in tomorrow to help out, and who will be arriving in the midst of this little epidemic...but she is philosophical, and I just won't be letting her change any diapers until Flynn is cured!
Tomorrow afternoon, Flynn has her first appointment with the head of the cleft team at Rose Medical Center. I'm really looking forward to hearing what the plan will be for her surgeries, and getting her started. It will be wonderful to see how she blooms once she is able to use her palate for speech, and once she feels more comfortable trying new solid foods! I think we're going to see her grow by leaps and bounds, and that's going to be an exciting time.
