Go Kyle Go!!!

We got his blood work back! Go Kyle Go! His bilirubin is .4 over .2!! Exactly where the doctors want it...to stay going down and in fact it dropped from his last month's result! But the best part ...his liver enzymes are HALF of what they were last month! Go Kyle Go!!! So extremly proud of our little man!

And another note...he's sitting on his own now...straight instead of leaning forward. At times he'll flop over, but it's alot better than what he did last week. He still needs PT and OT, hopefully that will get approved by city soon so he can catch up to speed with his other friends.

Here are some pics that we didn't get to post last week:

Birth weight double!!!

Finally Kyle is double his birth weight!!! He's 14lbs 7ozs as of today at his monthly check up with his liver team. (still a little short though) Even though he's a little off his developing skills, the np thinks he looks great. Liver is sill enlarged but that's ok cause liver is a remarkable organ and it may go back to normal size as he gets bigger. He's come a long way!
As for the physical therapy part, he's been evaluated by the pt (thx to our wonderful friend!!!), special Ed teacher and nutritionist - results are that he's borderline, so city may not approve for the IE program. He's being evaluated by the OT today. Even though he may not qualify for city funded IE program, he's got some amazing aunties that will help us out. Like his np said he's young and will catch up.

I'll post pics later.

Happy 8 months

wow! How time flies! Happy 8 months to our little tiger! (a day late)
here's a few updated pictures of our little tiger!

Almost there...

Kyle went for his 6 months check up (yup he's 2 months behind on his shots). He gained 8ozs from a week ago, today he's at 12lbs 12ozs - barely reaching the 3rd percent tile...ALMOST THERE though! She's happy that he's gaining weight though so thats good. He still has an enlarged liver and spleen- we hope it goes down in time. The doc felt he's got low muscle tone and would like for him to get some physical therapy, since he's really not supporting himself sitting and pulling himself up..however Kyle LOVES to jump. Hopefully it'll help with his developing skills once he starts getting it. He got two shots today... His last 2 before he turns a year old. Wow! How time flies! A year old in 4 months!!

Happy 4th everyone!
