Dr. Visit

Kanyon had his check up with Dr. Chris today. Dr. Chris was his neonatologist, but he is also a pediatrician, so that is really good for us! Everything was good with the check up. We are heading to Dallas Thursday to meet with the neurosurgeon for a CT scan. Please keep praying for his head. We aren't sure how much we'll learn--the Dr. just wanted to look at it and see where we were. We'll keep everyone posted on that. Here are a few pics from the last few days:

Sweet baby laying on our bed. He is starting to get more hair. It is so soft and fuzzy and kind of reddish!

We were cracking up at him when we took this..he had just had a bath and I guess it relaxed him. He was like a rag doll! Arms and legs limp...mouth falling open..eyes rolling around..He looked so content and happy! Check out that tummy!

Hugs from Kanyon!!!

OK..these are from the Dr. visit.

He weighed 7lbs. 5.5 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long. Both of those are in the 25th percentile for a 25 weeker at his age. This is where the confusion happens with adjusted age (his would be about 1 week...they basically count him from his due date) and his chronological age (his would be almost 4 months...his actual birthday). He will have an adjusted age until he's about 2 and hopefully by then he'll be caught up with other kids born when he was. The percentiles from today are compared with other 25 weekers at this chronological age. That may be as clear as mud. Sorry.

Good Ol' Dr. Chris


Poor baby got 3 shots while we were there. He did cry louder than I've ever heard him cry, but only for a second and then he was through.

accidentally put this on there twice..can't figure out how to take it off. sorry.
