Madi talking and Henry walking

Madi continues to have a good recovery so far. She has been eating and drinking a lot. Here she is with her dinner tonight (above). She ate all of that except the mashed potatoes, and also had some pears and Ben and Jerry's ice cream (not pictured).

Here she is (below) with the Camel Bak full of water (on the couch) and a glass of juice.

Here is a photo of her vocal chords. They are supposed to be completely smooth, but you can see the sort of hook-like projections on hers about 1/3 of the way down. Hopefully this will go away.

Both kids have been having a good time with GaGa. Here Henry models his new hat.

Madi's voice does sound different so far. She sounds to me like she has been breathing helium. Here you can hear for yourself. The adenoid removal in particular might affect her voice because they are behind the nose and were huge and draining. Her voice will gradually adapt over the next couple weeks, we have been told.

Henry meanwhile has been gradually walking a little more each day. Now he is up to five steps at a time! We are very excited.
