Sammy had his 4 month appt yesterday and he is above the 95th percentile for his height and weight and 70% for his head circumference! The doctor wants to schedule an MRI for Sammy as soon as possible because of his big jump in head circumference but she says it is only precautionary measures because she thinks the big jump in numbers is pretty proportional to a growth spurt but they just want to be sure. Then as she was examining his legs she noticed that they were disproportionate so she ordered an xray for him which i got done today, to check for hip dysplasia...when it rains it pours!!! At least his umbilical hernia has gone away. Then Danika's eczema has been acting up so i should reschedule her appointment with the dermatologist but Lily goes into the hospital this coming Monday to start chemo treatment. So I just want to focus on that to make sure she gets through the treatments and we learn how to administer the meds when she comes home. Also they will be putting a V.A.D. in her chest because they will have to be testing her quite a bit for blood platelets and other things so they don't want to keep poking her to draw blood. So we will have to learn how to keep it clean and administer heparin to prevent clots. I am hoping she responds well to the chemo treatment and has no infections or complications.
