Brianna had her 2 month check up this morning and shots. Todd has been in WI all week and I had to work so Grandma took her and said she did great! She weighed 11 lbs 7 oz and is 24 inches long. I have to look at the growth charts to see what percentile because Dr. Martin didn't go over that with mom. She's lifting her head up appropriately and using her legs better than the Doctor expected given the fact that she was in a brace until a week ago. She is even putting weight on them and lifting herself up a bit. So exciting!
Mom said she had 3 shots and did pretty well. She only cried for about 5 minutes and by the time they had her dressed and in the car seat she was back to her old self - for now that is :) We will see how she does this afternoon. Mom gave her some tylenol to combat any fever that might try to spike. Lets hope for a happy baby tonight! - I really hope she continues the STTN as she has been for the past few weeks. Gotta love it that she sleeps straight from 9-6!! (lucky us)
The Dr. did up her dose of Zantac and kept her on her new dose of Prevacid. So she is currently taking two meds twice a day. Dr. Martin wanted us to watch and see how she does over the next week to look for improvement (already 100% improved from last weekend). If it doesn't look like the meds are doing the job, we will have to go in for more tests and they might have to change her meds/formula around.
The last thing on my list was her eyes. I don't know if I had mentioned that her pupils were different sizes and have been for quite a while. Well anyone who knows me knows that I am very type A and paranoid about anything going wrong with her so I have been freaking out about this for the past month. When we were in the ER with her last weekend, I asked the doc about it there and he didn't see much of a problem with them. They both dialate and constrict appropriately. Well, the pediatrician we saw Sunday morning thought it was enough for a referral to a pediatric opthamologist. (They scheduled that for next Thursday.) Of course this freaks me out even more and I proceed to google the topic - not recommended! Dr. Martin looked at them today and said that she didn't think it would be anything serious. So I am hoping that two out of the three docs that looked at them this week are right! We will know next Thursday I guess!
If you are still reading, congrats! I know this turned into a long one! Ill keep you all updated on how she does post-shots and what happens next week at the opthamologist.
