Nicu Follow up clinic

Will had another Nicu follow up appointment at the clinic last week. He goes every 3 months and they monitor what all he is doing as far as hitting milestones and his eating habits. His eating and growth is good and falls around the middle of the chart that they want to see.

He has started rolling over from belly to back but is doing it in a not so normal way. He sticks his legs up and rolls over instead of tucks them in and rolls over. Also when we are picking him up his legs go straight out instead of curling them in. With all that said they recommended that we go for a therapy consult to see if he would need therapy or if we could just do some in home exercises. So we are waiting on a phone call regarding our appointment for therapy. A lot of places are booked now so we will just use the techniques they gave us and wait.

Will weighed around 14lbs 3oz and was 25 inches long. He wears size 2 diapers and is in anything between 3-9 months clothes but it all depends on how they fit him. He still is loving life and enjoying his daily activities such as sleeping, eating, bouncing in his jumper for hours and playing on his play mat. All in all life is good.

We go back at the end of October for hopefully his last eye appointment with Dr Brawner. His eyes are 95% mature and Dr Brawner hopes that he will be 100% when we see him at the end of the month.

Thankfully Will has not been sick. He did get a flu shot and will go back for another dose in November. We are still waiting on a phone call for the RSV shot. Hopefully we can be sick free this winter. So it's October and he is home bound for a while so we can get through the sick and cold season.
