Just the thing to make this whole enforced tummy time business a little easier. We should be careful, though. Once Blaise's Aunt Libby discovered mirrors, it was all over.
Dots on a screen? Were they in the shape of an ice-cream cone or a new bike? Why would this little genius look at dots? Again she shows off her intelligence. Good job Blaise, Wait until they give you something worthwhile to look at like an older man who is perhaps potty trained. You show them all who the real whiz kid is.
Blaise was born January 1, 2009, at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. Because of a giant cyst, her small intestine twisted on itself in utero, cutting off its blood supply and causing most of it to die. Blaise has 45 cm of small bowel, including her terminal ileum, an ileo-cecal valve and a complete large intestine. Because she lost so much of her small intestine, she has a diagnosis of short bowel syndrome (a.k.a., short gut). She came off TPN/Omegaven after 5 months and stopped tube feeds at 15 months. She spent her first 148 days as an inpatient at Children's Hospital Boston and was welcomed home May 28, 2009.
More importantly, Blaise is smart, tough and fun. We brag about her shamelessly, but we have a lot to brag about.
