	It has been a while, but not a lot of new news other then Lexi is growing and getting in to more and more things

	She seems poised to just start walking, but still wont let go of things
	Lexi goes up and down the main stairs all day, no more need for gates
	Lexi is starting to swallow solid foods, we were starting to get a little worried the vent damage would require some work to be done in her esophagus (or whereever in her throat), but seeing her swallow is a relief

08/28/06 - When will Lexi start to walk?

	Lexi continues to cruise furniture and window sills, on her feet all the time, just not willing to let go

	We thought she would be walking on her own by now, can't wait!
	She is nearly 21 pounds now, really growing
	Lexi has a mouth full of teeth, including 4 or 5 molars!
	No new news on Lexi's eyes except they seem better, haven't been back to the doctor for that recently

	She is off 1 more med, so she is down to Cyclosporine only, which she will be on the rest of her life
	Her transplant visits are cut back to 1 time every 4 months
	The day of the cath did not go real well She was very hungry by the scheduled 11 am start Not aloud to eat 6hr prior The study was delayed 2 hours - she was a grumpus!!!! They had trouble getting a good vein in her groin (she has a few 'poke' marks)   They were able go in thru the neck She had lots of sedation, so when once she was 'out', she was calm and basically stay 'out' all afternoon and evening She is werking a hear monitor (walking EKG) for 24 after, you can see that in today's pics
