On our way home now.

Shoshanna was a champ for her upper endoscopy today. We got to the hospital at 10 and went through all the history, etc. With shoes and abi, she weighs 20.2 kilos (44.4 pounds) and is 43″ tall. Her runny nose is just that – a [...]
Coming this Thursday to a Shoshanna near you…

… an upper GI endoscopy with tissue biopsy. I don’t think I mentioned it, but we concluded in early September that the Dread Pirate Reflux was back in full force.
Honestly, I’m not sure it ever really went away this time. We took her off of meds in March and, to be honest, she had a [...]

That sound? That’s the other shoe dropping.
Fortunately it’s a very little shoe. A Shoshanna-sized shoe, even.
We have been keeping an eye on Shoshanna’s gross motor development for a while, and noting that her left side still lags significantly behind her right, and that there is noticeably less muscle mass in her left calf than in [...]
We’d better watch what we say around this kid…

Shoshanna and I had the following conversation in the car on the way to her GI appointment this morning:
S: Mama, what’s a due date?
Me: That’s when you expect a baby to be born.
S: Why my due date was in January but I didn’t come ’til September?
Me: Well, September came BEFORE January, and because you were [...]
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Three years ago today, we were in the hospital for a swallow/sleep study – the one that got us off of both Reglan and supplemental O2. (New preemie parents reading this: do NOT let pulmo and GI decide to d/c both a motility drug and supplemental O2 at the same time… S’s little belly filled [...]
Checking things off of the list…

Not that we keep a list, but it’s always nice when another doctor says that they only want to see Shoshanna on an “as needed” basis. Today she was discharged from GI – she’s been off of reflux meds for four months with no problems. Check that one off the list. We [...]

Shoshanna’s 1-year optho followup was this morning, and as of right now she’s showing no signs of any negative effects from her mild ROP – she’s not near-sighted and her eyes have no crossing. Hooray Shoshanna’s eyes! Optho doesn’t want to see her back until she’s 3 (unless, of course, we have reason [...]
synagis!

We’ve known for a long time that Shoshanna was going to be approved for Synagis (the RSV vaccine) this year. When we got the official approval from the insurance company for five doses (November through March), I made the appointment for her first shots (she’s big enough now – twenty pounds and one ounce [...]

I don’t think I ever posted about the ultimate Prilosec decision. We’ve now been reflux-med free for 4 1/2 weeks! Shoshanna’s doing fine without the Prilosec. We’re due to go back to GI in late January for a checkup, but if she’s still doing well then, she’ll be discharged from GI. [...]

Two appointments this week… On Wednesday, Nancy (the physical therapist from the Early Intervention program) came by to see how Shoshanna’s doing. The answer is very well. She’s just recently decided that she doesn’t loathe tummy time – I’m chalking this up to her ability to consistently raise her head to 90 degrees, [...]
