Kai has been doing exceptionally well! Its seems to be a trend lately that every professional that sees Kai has been impressed with his progress. He's doing all the typical stuff a 2-month-old should be doing. He has been sleeping through the night, having his last bottle at 9pm falling asleep shortly after and then waking up at 5am or 6am for his first bottle of the day!
His head control is excellent and seems to keep getting stronger and stronger. He actually likes Tummy Time and can definitely lift his head up on his own and slightly push himself up.
He had his second appointment with the PT doing cranial sacral therapy yesterday and she was impressed with his progress as well. It had been about 10 days since his initial appointment with her and when she started the session she said "Wow, he does not even feel like the same baby". She did the usual holding of his head with slight pressure and did not feel what she felt the last appointment. I guess he's a great self healer according to her! She also characterized his as having a strong body constitution- "Constitution is important because it gives an indication of the overall strength of the body."
She decided not to seem him again for 2-3 weeks rather than just 1 week! I was very proud of Kai yesterday, I should have taken a picture! But I will next time. She was having him do mini pull ups-he showed off his big muscles and did awesome!
We also took him to general surgeons at LPCH on Wednesday to follow up on his inguinal hernia and not to my surprise they did not find any hernia! That doesn't mean it can't ever happen, but for now he is free and clear!
On Friday he had his last follow up with the eye surgeon and he discharged him from his care since he healed just fine! He'll be seeing the regular Pediatric Ophthalmologist soon to check his vision.
Not to disregard any other issues that he has do to being born premature such as the PDA, weak immune system, and ROP, but I am always amazed how lucky we are that his "issues" are completely under control and he as of now is showing no signs of long term problems (in my opinion).
I'll try to keep the updates coming as often as possible!
Thank you for the love, support, and prayers!!
