We took Greyson to see the pediatrician today for his 9 month check up. The appointment went great with only one surprise.....he didn't have to get any immunizations.... YIPEEE! The doctor was very pleased with Greyson's growth and development. His hemaglobin was a bit low but we already knew that since he had it checked last Friday. It is on the rise so we are not overly concerned about it now. So here are the stats:
Weight: 30th percentile - 19 lbs. 8 oz (with dressings and drains)
Height: 40th percentile - 28 inches
Head Circumference: 25th percentile - 44.5 cm
Besides this, things have been almost normal; you wouldn't think that he had surgery a little over a week and a half ago except for the dressing changes each morning (I am getting pretty good with the wrapping - even Dr. Jiang said it was very nice) and having to change out the drain tubes twice a day. The drainage was at it's highest on Friday and Saturday but seems to be slowing a bit now and isn't it near as red as it was. Very happy to see that.
We have another appointment with Dr. Jiang on Friday at 11am. I plan to update you all after that. Keep your fingers crossed that the drainage continues to get slower and slower each day. Once it's almost stopped he will take the drains out.
Hoping for no more snow ;-)
