No more OT


Kai had an appointment with his OT yesterday and she was impressed with his rolling ability, grasping, transferring toy between hands, head control, and overall strength that she decided Kai no longer needs her services! So awesome to know that he is fine without the help of an occupational therapist. She said if he was having difficulties with his solid feedings next month, we can see her for help on that, but she has faith he won't need to see her again. Very bittersweet.

His current weight is still 16lbs. 7oz. I'm positive his lack of gaining weight this last month or so is due to all this extra cardio he's getting in with rolling around and tummy time.

His GI doctor had us experiment this week by having Kai go cold turkey off his Prilosec medication to see if he has acid reflux symptoms still and after just 3 days off, the reflux clearly is still present. And this is fine, babies (preemie or not) can have acid reflux up to one year or more. So I started him back on his Prilosec so he's not so uncomfortable. We will see his GI doctor on Monday.

Other than that not much else is new here!

But I thought I'd share these cute father & son photos.
