Monday, January 13th we walked into Cook Children's Hospital one year after we were rushed there via ambulance with a tiny 4 pound baby. This time was different.. 22 pound, 27 inch long healthy ONE year old! AHHHH!! I still cant believe he is one already!! Anyways--we were going for his GI 6 month follow up and Dr. Cantu released him from his care! YAY!! He discontinued Jaxon's meds and his high calorie formula on to regular cows milk. I quietly (ok maybe not quietly) chanted "yeah, we never have to come back and see Dr. Cantu"..oops.. that may have been a bit rude, oh well, I was excited and thrilled that my once 4 pound failure to thrive baby was being discharged from one of his specialist!
Now Thursday January 16th we go in for his one year check up while we were at the doctor I mentioned his last ER visit because of discoloration in his feet, he took a quick listed to his heart and quickly recommended us to a pediatric cardiologist. Hold it together Meagan, slow your own heart down before you have an episode right here in front of the doctor! Breeeeath, its going to be ok. My mind obviously racing with our history of heart problems I am just silently praying that he hasn't inherited any of our lovely hearts! So we leave the doctors off and now...we...wait. Wait for Cook Children's to call and schedules us with yet another specialist. In the meantime Jaxon will also be seeing a Neurologist (same one as Michael's, thank goodness) in March. He has come along way since he started physical therapy but not quiet there yet. Since he was preemie and had a small brain bleed at birth, everyone feels like it would be a good idea to look a little deeper considering the muscle tone problems he has now.
