Kerry is doing great at PGE. He passed his 1 year anniversary with the company. wahoo ~
I took Ashlynn in for a routine exam today. She is 23.8oz and 2ft tall. Her head is in the 90th percentile. At our previous visit they suspected that the hole in her heart had repaired itself because they were unable to detect the murmur. This visit, things changed. The murmur was ever present and varied so another echocardiogram has been ordered to see what has been going on the past 6 months or so. She will be seen at the Doernbecher's Children's Hospital downtown Portland in the next few weeks when they can get her in.
She also has some skin thing going on. Hypersensative to lotions, detergents, water, air....etc She acts as if her skin is crawling. We have been told to start her on Benadryl regularily and we'll see if there is any change and if not we will be having some other plan of action-different drug. Kind of strange thing to pop up unexpected ~ I'm sure someone reading this would disagree.
As some may know, she popped 5 teeth in the past 4 weeks. She has been quite normal in this...two on bottom, two on top, one on bottom and as of yesterday one popped out on top. She looks a little goofy as it is not over the one that popped out on the bottom first. Adoreable as ever with her blue eyes and blonde hair. Anyway, she is hanging in there.
PS: She is crawling like a pro...I can't keep her entertained enough. Audrey and Ryan are great with her and love seeing her on the move so much. She has started trying to climb stairs....but I don't think so - o. I'm not ready for that yet. Ahhhhh
PSS Ryan also has some testing that he will undergo this next week. Some developmental things is all. We'll give any feedback we get when we get....
PSSS Audrey is checking into the zoo tomorrow. She is finally going home. Just kidding :) She is going on a field trip...all is well with her.
Hugs from Washougal,
Melissa
