I've been meaning to update this. But, I've really been slacking.
I went to see Avery's pediatrician to talk about a second opinion and what she thought about Avery's appointment with the neurosurgeon. First, she measured his head because her office,and his had measurement that were wayyyy off. Hers had said his head circumference was only in the 15-25th percentile. The nuero had that it was the 50th. After measuring his head, she told me that he was right. That his head had already grown, and was in the 50th percentile. She ensured me she has worked with this doctor before and would never second guess him,not even with her own children. She suggested that since they want to bring him in to watch the back of his head that we will also check his head circumference monthly to make sure it continues to grow. The back of his head is flat,and sunken in in one spot. This ISN'T from him laying on it. We've made sure of that by making sure that most of the time he is off of the back of his head, weither it be him being held, him being in his Bumbo seat, or me carrying him in his moby wrap. He goes in today and they will decide if he needs to be sent back to the specialist or if he needs to be fitted for a helmet. Or maybe to just continue to watch him. And then we take him on the 22nd to see the cardiologist again. He's going to do another ultrasound and ekg to check for the aortic insufficiency and make sure the palpitations haven't come back.
He's getting so big. 14 lbs 14 oz the last he was weighed. He loves to just sit here and talk to me and laugh. He absolutely adores his sisters and his face,as well as theirs lights up everytime they see each other. No matter what, it's all worth it. We were so blessed to have him come into our lives even with everything that's happened.
