Today has been exhausting. Peanut and I got up about 7:45, she ate second breakfast, did her breathing treatment and we got ready for the physical therapist. In the middle of the therapy session the nutritionist arrived. The therapy session went well and Maddie is making HUGE leaps in her development. I have some new goals for her, but she will get there. I was a little discouraged because Maddie only weighed 11lbs 12 oz on the nutritionist scale. That is what she weighed last week. The nutritionist talked about ways to add to her calorie intake because she is still behind. Over all the nutritionist was pleased with the advances Peanut had made.
After everyone left the house we went to the 6 month check up for Maddie at the pediatrician's office. She weighed 12lbs and 2 oz. I think the nutritionist's scale is off and she will be my next email. Maddie was also 26 inches long. She is above the 50th percentile for her height and she is only in the 5th percentile for her weight. We discussed lots of things and the doctor was pleased that although her weight is not gaining as fast as WE ALL would like she is doing very well.
Things these days seem very depressing as to what we all are going through but today was a major victory and we are going to celebrate!!! Hope everyone is having a great week!! Don't for get to celebrate your own little victories!!! We're going to!! TTFN
