Hope

It has taken a little bit of time but this morning Hope came walking out of her room, using the wall of course but she was walking while wearing her night garments.  Until this point she has only been able to crawl when she wore them.  Next step is letting go of the wall!!  She has been spotted a few times not holding onto anything as she stands but then she realizes it and falls.

Compression stockings

All 3 of the girls have now received not only their daytime compression stockings but have nighttime garments as well!!!  The girls are doing much now sleeping through the night.  Grace has Lymphedema the worst and so her garments go all the way up her legs, she is having the hardest time getting used to them.  She cries a lot at first but once she falls asleep she is out for the count. 

I know that over time all the girls will get more used to them and it will become just habit to have them on.  Like anything especially with them being so little it takes time. 
We would like to thank Nancy and her sister at EZ Medical Wraps for making them their night garments and to helping us all get some more sleep.  If you know of anyone that has Lymphedema and needs garments I highly recommend contacting Nancy.

I have changed the settings of the blog

I have changed the settings of the blog to be a private paid blog.  Most insurance companies do not yet recognize Lymphedema as a serious illness and therefore do not cover a lot of the medical needs that go along with having Lymphedema.  My intention with this blog is not only give you the reader updates on my girls but also to educate you on lymphedema and to provide recipes that I have found to work. 
I hope you choose to come along and follow our family as we continue to "Lymphie Life to the Fullest."
