Zoe's First Research Study

Zoe has already participated in her first research study! We were approached by one of Chuck's collaborators about having her participate in a Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) study of preterm infants who have spent time on the NICU. Zoe will be a part of the "non-neuro" group (i.e., she did not suffer any neurological complications at birth) and will be matched with same gestational-aged peers who experienced neurological insults. She has already been tested three times and of course has always been the perfect research subject (says proud Momma). Maddy and Nadege, the research fellows, are new friends of Zoe's! They are able to test Zoe right at her bedside while she sleeps.

Today Zoe chased the cats until they succumbed to her love and adoration. Today I put the garbage on the curb for weekly pickup and realized that we didn't have any! We recycle and compost far more than we throw away. I am grateful to be able to teach Zoe & Silas these habits. Empty trash barrel Countertop compost bin  Backyard compost bin that we bought at Town Hall Food compost, including the hair from Silas' haircut today! Today I checked on the rooftop vegetable patio garden - it's doing great! Today we went school supply shopping so that I can enjoy the last month of summer without worrying abou...

Silas, 7/26/17

The context for this post is that S&Z started two weeks of daily swimming lessons in the outdoor town pool on Monday. The beginning of this week also happened to start with two of the coldest days of the summer!
