Crazy isn't even the right word to explain this past week - getting the call the Chloe needs to be admitted to Children's Hospital of pneumonia, plus stop by the office first to get her "stats" to be approved to skip the ambulance ride was more than I was expecting.  But good news is that Chloe did not have pneumonia but a viral broncolitis.  Spent the night to be monitored (as Monday night she was wheezing and having troubles breathing) but released Wednesday and has been running laps since.  She is a tough kid that is for sure - she does have an ear infection (left) and fluid (right) and is currently taking antibiotics - as soon as she gets a clean bill of health from our amazing Doctor, she will again have surgery for tubes. :( Disappointed, yea a little - we are ready to be done with this chapter and move on to the fun learning things!

Speaking of fun things, her are a few things we have caught Chloe doing this week:
Eee (and signs with one finger to her lips) for Eat
Elo or something like that when she holds a phone to her ear
After she hears a door close, she will sometimes look at it and wave bye bye (at hospital, didn't see them leave)
My phone made a sound for new text message, and she looked for my phone and held hand up to her cheek
She liked to watch out of the hospital window and made lots of vrrr vrrr sounds as the cars went by

We are working with some higher frequency sounds, like Sss, to see if we can get her to respond.  And although we haven't gotten her to turn her head, there have been a few examples here within the last few days that she has repeated or spontaneously made the Sss sound.  Maybe, just maybe she is hearing it but not giving you the true reaction... something to keep working on.

Thought you might like to see how active (and noisy) she can be ... I know you are suppose to be quiet while waiting in the doctor's office - but this Mom can't quite tell her to stop chattering, I just enjoy it too much!
