HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Jack is doing very well. He is now 15 pounds! We can hardly believe how BIG he is now! He’s almost 8 months old. He’s continuing to eat very well and loves his oat cereal!! We think he may be teething as well – lots of drooling and chewing on his hands and fingers.

Jack had his first of seven RSV shots – it went well except his legs were very sore for a few days! We remain indoors now avoiding shopping centers, grocery stores and crowds. We did however get out of the house a little bit yesterday! Jack went to visit his great grandma Olga and his great grandpa Chuss. Everyone had a wonderful time. Jack was laughing and smiling at them!

The next few weeks are pretty much appointment free with the exception of his physical and occupational therapy. December is a busy month for Jack. He’ll see his neurosurgeon, his neonatologist and his pediatrician. Jack is also scheduled for a baseline CT scan. We are not sure what the procedure involves – we’ll get more information when we get the letter in the mail. We do know they want to do them every so often to make sure his shunt is continuing to work well.

Thanks to everyone for your donations towards the Rocking Chair for Jack’s NICU!! We will probably have the chair ready to be delivered to the NICU by Jack’s first birthday in March. We will keep you updated!
