Well first off, thanks for all of the prayers. Isabella has not thrown up in 24 hours. She is back on 1/2 strength formula and seems to be doing okay with it. Today Birth to 3 came and so did the visually impaired team. They did a lot of visual stimulation to see what she could see. Well, she responded to almost everything they put in front of her. She tracks better from the right side and seems to focus on the right side much better. When you move an object to her left visual field, she seems to loose it a little bit. She even reached up for some of the objects. So this was really really good news. Basically it just confirmed what we already knew. Yeah she is going to need a lot of work to get her vision back. And it still does not mean she will ever get all of her vision back. They did say however, the more we work with her, the more her brain will retrain itself to see!! They are going to also send an audiologist to check her hearing. We all know that she has re-gained at least most of her hearing. This will help up confirm what she really can and can't hear. She responds to all noise that I have noticed, so I believe she can hear just fine. She will soon start getting physical, speech and occupational therapies. She has a tough and long road ahead, but I know she is one tough cookie so she will regain her strength. Oh, and she shook a rattle today!!! This is really big. She basically has not done any of that since her last episode in July. I am still waiting for her to start smiling spontaneously again. But, I know it will come and when it does, it will be so wonderful.
CHECK OUT THE NEW AND IMPROVED BLOGSPOT. I HAVE ADDED NEW PICS. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. MY MOM DOESN'T LIKE IT. SHE SAYS IT IS HARD TO READ BECAUSE OF THE COLORING.
Love to All
Megan, Matt, Bella, Abby and Maddy

YEA!!!! Way to go Bella! Proving them wrong once again. You amaze me! Megan I'm very glad to hear that she is doing better and not throwing up, I could tell how worried you were, made me a little worried too, and although I would love to see her, I would rather it be me that travels to Oswego and not Bella to KC. Give her some kissess for me, I have been missing her something terrible lately! Love you guys!
and I love the new pics and background, very cute.
Oh..what a relief. I was getting worried about our little angel. She is amazing so amazing. I have learned so much for her. I am so glad that she can see and hear. Yes she does have someways to go but if anyone can do it she can.
You guys are such great parents and your family is so wonderful.
We love you guys and are praying for you.
WAHOO!!
You guys are doing a great job. You're so tuned in to Bella. God knew exactly who He wanted for the job.
Those little baby brains are SO responsive...I think you will be amazed at the leaps she is preparing to make.
Love and still prayers,
Angela & family

ok I know you knew what I meatn but I'll type it the right way.....PRAISE GOD!!! Sam is on my lap...:-)
It's amazing how God has designed the human body to withstand so much and learn to do things in new ways. Bella has shown us these miracles since day 1.
Megan, I love all the pics and wish I could see more! I do find the new background a tad overpowering, but I tend to like simple and then let beautiful Bella take your breath away.
I think for your next trip to KC we need to plan an open house or something so we can all see Bella!
Love, Sarah
Meg and crew,
Every step towards improvement is one in the right direction. Keep on keepin' on. I've been praying as I walk on my route for hours continuously.
Love ya,
Sheri
God is sooooo Good, is HE not? So wonderful!! I really enjoy reading up on Bella!! Next time we come visit my parents, I'll have to make a point to come see you and Bella. I feel like I know you, through the blog, and through my Mom too. She keeps me updated too!!! We will continue to pray, and expect God to continue working!!
Prayers,
Esther Junod
