We had a good visit in Pittsburgh yesterday. He gained 9 more ozs in oly 8 days. That puts him at a whopping 9 lbs 13oz. I will tell you I think he is ready for a steak. I gave him 5 oz at church last night and he got very upset because he wanted more! It had only been a little over 2 1/2 hours since he had eaten before.
They deceided that the would have the surgeon check his head next week. Along with his peditrician they think it is a something hematomia (or however you spell it). They think it happen during the birth process. They said it may take months but it should go away eventually. The surgeon wants to see him next week just to make sure.
He has been spitting up a good bit this week. They seem to think he may be starting to have reflux issues. He has had some fussy issues and arching his back some. They say those are all signs of reflux. Most babies with cleft have it to some degree.
They also said that the NAM device looks good. His mouth is adjusting to it well. It looks like if all continues to go well then his first surgery will be sometime around five months of age. We will know an exact date Jan. 12.
As for the rest of us, the girls are passing the bug back and forth. Elijah has an ear infection. Talk about little sleep in this house.
I will be getting things ready to do a family portrait for Christmas.
Well Elijah is in need of something so I gotta run.
