6 Month Appt!

DrRx

Adalyn has been doing really well! We've now been off O2 for about 2 weeks (yay!) and sats have been great when we spot-check it.  She is up to 11 pounds and is 22 inches long! Long way from 1 pound 12 ounces and 12 inches!

We got the ok to go ahead and start fruits since we've pretty much gone through all the veggies.  We're still doing the Stage 1 foods since she is still a supported sitter, and we're only going to do fruits in the morning with her oatmeal for now.  We're going to use the Neosure once a day and the rest my breastmilk, since there is still so much left and I really want to get through it before it goes bad.  Thank god for deep freezes! 

She also got her shots today (3 of them) and then had to get bloodwork done.  They checked her Vitamin D, hemoglobin, and other labs to check on her osteopenia and anemia.  They actually had to poke her twice since the first arm didn't get them enough blood.  She took it like a champ.  Let's hope those numbers are great and we can check off some of her diagnoses that she left the NICU with.  

Last week she was discharged from the ROP clinic (yay!) since she doesn't have any active disease.  They suggested that we follow up with a pediatric opthamologist in about 3 months, but he doesn't think there will be any problems. 

She's been pretty chill today, with the difference being that she wanted lots and lots of snuggles, which I was only too happy to give.  I wore her a lot today and she napped a lot.  She did start to feel warm this evening, so I checked her temperature and sure enough, she was at about 99.4.  I gave her a dose of children's tylenol (which she LOVED) and she's doing fine now. 

We watched the US Women's soccer team play in the semifinals against Canada and Adalyn cheered them on in her little soccer ball onesie.  Here's my beautiful miracle! 

 

Hope you all had a great Monday!

Sounds like a great appointment and milestones! Shot days are the worst, but it is nice to get the extra snuggles.

 I love her soccer onesie, what an awesome game!!

Thanks! It really was a nail biter! Although Adalyn fell asleep towards the end, she did wake up for the 2nd overtime and was awake when we won!

She looks amazing! I think it's so funny that she loved the tylenol. My baby acts like we are trying to poison her when giving it to her.

This post really warms my heart. Congratulations to Adelyn. She has always been a little fighter (in a very positive way). ??
