We have found out that our insurance approved a specail bath chair and stroller for her. The picture you see is her new bath chair that I have yet to use for an actual bath. It works so much better for a seat for her to sit in and be able to look around (also useful for feeding her now that she can start eating again by mouth). It can bend in about any direction you need it to - and that makes it work well for what we need. I am sure that it will be a bath chair soon enough. We will be taking another trip to Denver in June to get her new stroller that will give her the support she needs. At that time we will also be seeing an Opthamologist, Neurologist, and her Special Care Clinic doctor (all in one day none the less). I am hoping that it will be another productive visit for us and get us closer to figuring out what exactly we are dealing with and how to prepare ourselves for the next year or so. Torah caught the RSV bug a few weeks back and luckily only got a bad cough from it. Her doctor did admit her the hospital for overnight observation on the 24th of March. She really was not sick at that time, the reason Mom was so concerned is because she was running a high fever for more than two days. When we first saw the doctor - she did not think there was anything really wrong with Torah (possible teething), but after she got the test results back - the doctor was just about as surprised as I was when she discovered the RSV. This was probably the 15th time the RSV test has been done on Torah and it always came up negative - but God must have had a reason. Torah is doing much better now and is much more happy and active then I have ever seen her. She has gotten to the point that she loves to rollover from her back to her stomach and is now trying to figure out how to get form her stomach to her back. I work with her a lot on trying to sit up, she love to sit and she can hold her head up a lot better (not perfect - but better). Torah does not have any balance right now so she is not any closer to sitting by herself - but she still has come along way. She now weighs 20lb 5oz (probably more by now), and is 31 inches long. Her weight is in the 95th percentile of her age group at 14 months (amazing since she was 6 weeks early).
