NeoNatal Follow Up

Abby had a weight check on Monday with her pediatrician and for the first time she lost weight-2 ounces. So we started on cereal on Monday. She's doing okay with it.

At her neoNatal check up today she saw a pediatrician, physical therapist and nutritionist. The pediatrician and PT were very surprised with how well she was doing for a 23 weeker. The PT said he saw a lot of positive things, but he is going to take note that she doesn't use her left hand and foot the same as her right. It's something he'll check out at her next appt. in another 4 1/2 months.
Both he and the nutritionist saw a red flag in the fact that she doesn't have very regular bowel movements. They are hoping that this is why she is having eating issues so we are going to try a few things to see if we can get her more regular. We'll see how that goes. She will also see a neurologist on the 18th of the month.

After her appt. we went over to UMC (just a few buildings away from the health dept.) to say "hi" in the NBICU. Almost everyone we wanted to see either wasn't there today or were in a meeting that they couldn't leave. Bummer. But we'll be back down there on Sept 11th for her pulmonologist appt. so we'll stop by again.
