Someone was asking to see how Ellie's face has changed, so I pulled up our before picture, one from February, and one from today. The change is very, very noticeable, although Dr. Dee said it wasn't as bad as some of the kids she sees. It will only continue to get worse if we stay the course with Bipap as a method of treating Ellie's apnea.

August 1st update: Ellie now has five teeth (three on the top, two on the bottom), and her lower jaw protrudes about a centimeter in front of her top jaw, such that the space created between upper and bottom teeth is interfering with her ability to chew/bite anything effectively. We have an OT appointment tomorrow morning! Finally, she's been picked up by OT, so they're going to assess that. And, I guess we'll see what happens next week while she's at the hospital, and if that plays into their plan at all!
