We got Emmy's activity mat in the mail on Monday. She looks so little on it right now, but can already move herself around some with her arms. She seems to like looking at herself in the mirror too (typical girl!). I'm really hoping that this will help strengthen her neck muscles. 
On a positive note, the nurse that visited our house yesterday said that Emmy is right on track with babies her age. Yeah! She also told us about a special insurance that will cover all of the co-pays and charges not covered by our insurance with her specialists (cardiologist, audiologist, etc.). Then we found out that every year we can get $1000 from the state to cover any expenses for her that are not covered by insurance (including diapers, hearing aids, camps, classes, babysitters, etc.). The nurse asked what school Emmy would be attending when she started preschool and I told her that I planned to homeschool. She said that because I would be homeschooling her for "medical reasons", I could petition the state to get all money they would have spent on her therapies and use it to take her to any therapies that I wanted her to go to myself.
More good news...it appears that Ellie is now potty-trained. She hasn't had an accident in days and has even been wearing her "big girl" pants when we go places. Yeah again!
