2 Months Old

2 Months Old...where has the time gone?

This was a busy month with doctor appointments. His reflux is worse then ever so we have been making frequent visits to his GI doctors. They adjusted his medication and it seems to be helping.

Joey had his 2 month appointment and I am proud to say that he has begun hitting all his milestones. He tries to find familiar voices with his eyes and has begun smiling when smiled at. His head is on the larger side so he continues to work at holding it up.

One area of concern that has been a constant is his head. I began noticing a few days ago that his face was not symmetrical and one eye was much smaller when he smiled. I also notices that his head always turned to one side. Those concerns paired with the small spot spot made me mention it to the doctor. She thinks it would be in his best interest to have my concerns addressed by a specialist at the Cranial Facial Clinic at Children's in Boston. We have an appointment for December 17, 2011. I will let you know how that appointment goes.

Joey has his first emergency room visit this month. Sophia had caught a virus and shared it with her brother. His temperature got high so they wanted to see him. Is was a quick visit and the doctors that tended to him were amazing. His virus lasted only a few days but the sinus infection that he developed secondary to the virus lasted awhile. It was tough with both kids sick but I made it through and I think I did a pretty good job nursing them both back to health.

My little man!
