Ok so I was a little off at getting Daniel to the pediatrician at exactly the 15-month mark but we did get him there today. We are happy to say that Daniel is now in the 20th percentile for height and weight and he is still moving along on his curve. Though both of us think their scale is off since they said Daniel was only 19 pounds and 13 oz. but who cares. He is now almost 30 inches tall and if I don't watch out, he will be as tall as me soon.
He did REALLY well today and only cried when the shots came. (So not looking forward to any reactions since he got his MMR and his flu shot today.) He even waved and smiled at the Dr. when she came in and ran up and down the exam table when we were there alone. (Yes, Mike and I were on each end catching him.) The visit was quite nice since both the Dr. we see and the nurse were both really excited to see Daniel since the last time we saw them was prior to his surgery. Our Dr. was really happy with his progress and was all smiles when she saw us in the waiting room and said "I can't believe it. Just look at him." Though it seems sooo far away it is really unbelievable that it has only been six months since he lost his trach.
We also FINALLY got approval to start speech and feeding therapy at Hackensack Medical Center tonight. Go figure they called tonight since I called Valley's Center for Child Development today in desperation this morning since I had not heard anything from Hackensack in over two months. (Guess I still need to work on my patience!).
Now we just have to hope that the good news keeps on coming as we head back out to Cincinnati for Daniel's follow-up ENT and GI scopes on October 15. We are keeping our fingers crossed that they tell us we are good to go for six months which will get us through to the winter.
All and all a very good day for the Dukers. Hope your day was as good.
