Brandon is nearly 22 months old now and 22 pounds. We are looking forward to what this year will bring. As far as we know Brandon should be surgery free this year.
We will continue to see our wonderful pediatrician on a regular basis. Tis the season for colds, flu, etc... Brandon is actually trying to get over pneumonia right now. Sickness seems to hit him pretty hard, but he is a tough little guy.
We will also continue to be involved with Help Me Grow which has been very helpful. Our early intervention worker comes to the house for home visits to see how Brandon is progressing. She is even bringing a speech therapist and occupational therapist here and there to evaluate Brandon as well.
Brandon will also be following up with his endocrinologist for his growth hormone deficiency. He is growing taller each day with the help of his growth hormone shots, however he is not gaining weight as fast as we thought. He is doing fabulous with his shots and even rolls over into position on his own when he sees us coming towards him with the supplies. No tears, he just says "All done" in his own little way when we are finished. Such a good boy!
Also on the agenda this year is our scheduled follow ups with his opthamologist, Dr. Delmonte at U of M, his geneticist Dr. Hoo at St. V's, his urologist, Dr. Liu at St. Vs, and his orthopedist, Dr. Buerke at Toledo Hospital. As you can see, Brandon has a very busy social calendar. :o)
