Dru's first Fourth of July

Dru has been such a happy girl the last few days. Lots more smiles. 

We spent the fourth at home in our backyard. With her PELD score going up, I am finding myself more paranoid about having her around a lot of people. I'm scared to death she'll pick up a virus and that may keep her from accepting a liver. 

There are some benefits to her not letting many people hold her--it gives me some control on what she's exposed to. 

So our holiday was spent with some good friends in our own little sanctuary. 

A BBQ and some fireworks. 

Another event when we are so grateful that Dru was happy and healthy enough to share it with us. 

In other news--we are getting more concerned about the fluid in Dru's belly.

She's on a diuretic to help reduce the pressure in her belly, but sometimes I can tell it's hard for her to breathe. :(

Despite the size of her belly, that keeps her from rolling and crawling, and even sitting up; she sure tries.
