General Update

Maddy had her ortho appointment Monda, feet looked good. Our last visit I was worried about how she was holding her feet, but since that visit Maddy has been standing more. I had talked about a possible surgery moving a tendon from one side of the foot to the other side, but no need now. The Ponseti shoes are now available in our area. We do not have a problem with our current shoes, but it would be neat to use the shoes created by the doctor whose technique for correcting club feet is so widely used. Our PA wrote us a prescription for the Ponseti shoes so hopefully our insurance will cover it, and the place we get our shoes can get them. Our appointment for shoes is tomorrow, so we will see.

It has been and will been a busy week.

Monday, Ortho visit. Today, 1 year well (sick) baby check up. Wednesday, Shoes appointment. Thursday, pre-op visit for tubes and adnoids.

At the 1 year check up, Maddy weighs 19.5 pounds and is 28 inches long. If I remember all the percentages correctly they are: Head 10% (which is what she has always been), weight 25% (went up from 15%), and height stayed the same at 15%. Developmentally Maddy is on target, only thing was standing not holding on to anything, but the window for this is 12-15 or 18 months (I have too many numbers in my head). Maddy received 2 immunizations and had a finger poke. She was not happy after this visit. Her current ear infection is not getting better, so switched antibiotics to one that has worked in the past.

Well, I guess that is all for now. I would have put up a picture, but Maddy has a runny nose and that's not so pretty.

Today Is Maddy's Birthday!!!

The above picture is the during the party.

And this is Maddy before her party.

What a difference!
