Doctor Updates

We went to the doctors yesterday as promised. Her peditrician says that Myla is doing "really, really good." He was impressed with her weight gain - she's 7 pounds 3/4 ounce now! Her oxygen test went well too, she stayed in the upper 80's, but we still have the Tin Man with us for three more weeks. They like to see mid-90's on oxygen saturation. So, when we go in for her four month check-in, we'll try again!

Her eyes are starting to get better too. The blood vessels have moved into stage 3, which means they are growing again, and the ROP is now back to stage 1 in both eyes. We are still watching that too, and will go back in two weeks for another check-up.

She looks so big sometimes and is starting to be more awake and focused. The peditrician told us to talk to her all the time, tell her what we are doing when we change her clothes and diapers and so on. This helps her get a grasp on the language. Her dad was so cute last night, "and now I'm going to snap you up, one snap, two snap, three snap!" She watches us too when we are talking to her. I can't wait for her to start cooing and talking back! Its going to be so much fun!
