I took Q in for his follow up appt. today. I guess the dr was out of town until today so I couldn't get him in sooner. He went up to 20% so that is good, not the best, and not where he was at, but at least he didn't drop more. He was at 40% at his 4 month check up.
He still doesnt like to take a bottle. He will only drink 18 oz at the most a day, and that is me forcing him to eat it. I give him plenty of solids during the day. He loves his solids.
I am not sure if I mentioned his head size in the previous updates. His head shrunk a tiny bit. The nurse told me after she measured his head that she needs to do it again because she did it wrong. She did it again and it was the same as before 41 cm. The Dr came in and told me that the measurement must be wrong, and i told her that the nurse did it twice, but she insisted that it was wrong. So I didn't think very much of it.
well when I went in today for the follow up, I asked that they measure the head. The nurse measures it at 41 cm. I said that was the same as last time, she decides to try it again and this time she measured 41.3, but still not much growth.
The dr said he looks fine, but she wanted to get another dr's opinion. That tells me right there that something is wrong she just doesn't want to alarm me. She comes back and tells me they need to do an ultra sound of Q's head to see what is going on, because he is underdeveloped. so now I am waiting for the nurse to call me to tell me when his appt is.
I am pretty nervous, but I know its just a precaution. I would rather have them find something wrong early and fix it then later and it be too late to fix completely. I am just hoping that nothing is wrong and there is nothing to fix : )
That boy has had so many issues since he was born. I have had more problems with him in these 7 months then I have had with Meg in the last 2 years.
and they tell me girls are supposed to be the dramatic ones....
He is rolling over like a pro now, all over the room in every direction so that is good news. he sits up for about 15 seconds when he feels like it, and is happy and playful.
The Dr told me that most boys do their motor skills before their social, but he might be doing social first. I guess time will tell, and this ultra sound.
