Dr. Irene today

We just got home from Athan's appointment with the endocrinologist. Seeing Dr. Irene always makes for a good day! Looks like everything is going well - his meds seem to be the right dosage for now. He had blood drawn again (which went really well - they actually found a vein and were able to draw it quickly instead of having to do another heel-stick), and we will know more by the weekend about whether we will be adjusting dosage or not. She also drew some blood to send off and see if we need to do a round of puberty hormone replacement, so we'll be hearing from her about that, too.

His rate of weight gain was up over the past 2 weeks, so that was encouraging! He weighs 9lb 3oz today, and he's 23 inches long. Last we checked he was gaining 18.5 grams/day, and this time works out to 22 grams/day. The goal is to be closer to 30 grams/day, so we're moving the right direction. :-)

Athan and Morgan are both in the living room having a big time with Na-Na and Auntie B. Fun!
