He has taken care of us and continues. We are so blessed.
Gracie:
The Dermatologist called with the results from her biopsy and there is nothing to worry about. We will consult with a Plastic Surgeon later but nothing to do right now.
The Orthopedic feels she needs new braces for her legs. The brace is not fitting the way it should. The doctor was very pleased with how flexible her foot is now and told me how great of a job I've been doing. That didn't help at all because I put her in a lot of pain every day to get that foot flexible. The doctor is concerned with her left knee because she has a 20 degree contracture. The hope is therapy will fix this.
You can start to hear her laugh now. It is the cutest squeek there is! It is very low pitch but this is huge!
Brody:
Nothing really new with him health wise. We still struggle with feeds and head control. He is talking more these days and likes to move around in his crib. His sister, Madi taught him how to suck his fingers so that is his new favorite past time. He really loves to have his daddy a suprise every morning at 4am to start Ricky's day off just right.... Ricky loves to smell that in the morning :o)
Madilynn:
She has no health issues these days. She is doing great with her rice cereal feeds. I'm looking forward to making her some baby food in the next week or so. She can sit up unassisted for a couple of seconds. She has also started to figure out how to play with toys. Poor baby still has very little hair :o)
We have a lot of appointments I need to schedule coming up. We have to have all of their hearing rechecked very soon. Since they were so preemie there are always concerns for certain things and this is one of them. All three have to get their second flu shot as well as their monthly RSV shot. Brody needs to see the Neurologist for his brain bleed. Madi and Gracie need to see the Dermatologist, Madi needs to see the Cardiologist. Brody and Gracie need to see the Pulmonologist for another OCRG test (to see if they can get off oxygen). Brody and Gracie need to be fitted for helmets. We also need to do blood draws, ultrasounds and echocardiograms.
I need to start planning their 1st BIRTHDAY! July will be here so soon.
I hope everyone enjoyed their pictures of our little cutties!
