Happy Doctors!

Willa had two appointments within a few days of each other and both doctors are super pleased with Willa's gains. First we saw the GI doctor at UNC. We have not been back to UNC since Willa's uneventful endoscopy. Willa weighed in at a whopping 21.2 pounds and is up to 32 inches in length. WE ARE ON THE GROWTH CHARTS!

GI is so pleased that we are making zero changes in meds and going to continue the same path. We are also going to attempt to stop the 1230am dream feed and see if not getting that nighttime bottle causes her appetite to spike during the day. I'm all for this plan because it means I can keep on sleeping.

We will continue to track Willa's caloric consumption and also need to keep trying to introduce her to "real" foods. I'm hopeful that making the transition to a daycare facility on August 4th will also assist with Willa eating the same foods as her peers. We will go back for another GI in September to give the doctors a status update since starting daycare.

We had Willa's 18 month appointment, only slightly delayed, less than a week after seeing GI. Dr Dunk was also very happy to see Willa's weight make a big jump. Also, Willa's developmental changes are obvious.  Willa babbles nonstop, but not that you can understand everything, is super inquisitive and always on the move. Willa also got her last round of shots until kindergarten. Her only routine shot will be the flu shot. I'm sure Willa would express her appreciation if she understood what I just typed.
