It’s been a while…

It feels like ages since I last wrote on here.  We went to the derm appointment (paed was a no-show).  The derm was happy with her progress, he did say it’s slow but it’s looking good.  I’ve take a 6 month piccie today for the latest scab update.  Here it is…

As the paed was a no-show we had to wait for the hospital to phone us with another appointment time at the children’s outpatient clinic.  We got in within the week!  (what a miracle, lol).  The paed was fantastic.  He’s happy with her fontanelle, he agrees that it’s large but he felt all the plates on her head and the seams where they join and they felt symmetrical.  All we have to do for the next 4-6 months is take monthly growth stats on her head.  They’ve given us a form to fill out.  It is grows at a steady rate then we don’t have to go back…if it grows too fast then they want to see us again.  I’m confident that it’ll all be fine.

He wants her to have a kidney scan to check for size/placement of the kidneys.  That’s happening on Fri 26th at 9am just down the road at Rototuna.  Again, I’m feeling positive about things.

Since being on the anti-b’s, Ellie is a changed girl…back to her happy self and drinking her bottles pretty good.  She’s even got stuck into the solids!!  She’s certainly not fading away lol

Here’s a pic of her eating her dinner tonight.  Take a guess at who was feeding her…me or J

P.S…tomorrow she’s officially 6 months old!!!  What a crazy 6 months it’s been…wonder what the next 6 months will bring???  I’m hoping for…nothing!
