Things are looking up

Once again I have not had the time to update the blog. It has been a little over a month since I have been on here and wow have things changed. Adyn's doing great & McKenzie is getting to be such a big girl. I cannot believe that McKenzie is almost THREE & Adyn turned ONE in April. Where is the time going? Well, I'll update you on what has been going on...

• Adyn's continuing physical therapy at CHOA once a week.
• In March had a 6mo recheck with the orthopedic for scoliosis. Still doesn't think he has it but will recheck again in September
• April 14, 2010 Adyn turned ONE! He had a great 1st birthday party on April 10, 2010 & enjoyed eating his smash cake.
• April 15, 2010 Adyn had his 1 year check-up w/Dr. Evans. Everything went great but a heart murmur was heard for the first time.
• April 26, 2010 appointment w/Sibley Heart Center. The doctor was not concerned but wants to recheck him if it's still heard when he's three. Dr. Evans is to keep an eye on it.
• May 6, 2010 eye recheck to check his near & far sight. Recheck in September. The last tear duct surgery was successful :)
• In April we received a letter stating that the neurologist that Adyn has been seeing at CHOA would be closing.
• Helmet scan May 21, 2010. Adyn went from 10.7mm to 6.9mm in 4months! He has made such improvement & is now only wearing it at night. PTL!
• June 2, 2010 Adyn saw his new neurologist & he had no concerns for Adyn except wanting him to have a hearing test. The hearing test is scheduled for June 17, 2010.
• Babies Can't Wait came out on June 3, 2010 to evaluate Adyn for developmental delays. He was only delayed in problem solving but wasn't delayed that much to where he needs their services. He's doing great!
• A 3wk recheck helmet scan June 10, 2010

Adyn is doing great! I am so thankful that he has been showing such great improvement. He's getting so close to walking. Since he got his helmet off he has been saying more things & doing a lot more. He now says mama, dada, nana & attempts to say grandaddy, waves, claps his hands & knows how to get all over the place! Boy is he a handful! He's so sweet & such a joy.

McKenzie has been doing great & being so good to be dragged to all his appointments. She's having her 3rd birthday party soon at Chuck-e-Cheese & very excited about it! She recently had a photo shoot with Helmuth Photography for Classy Sassy Girls (http://www.classysassygirls.com/ website soon & http://www.etsy.com/shop/classysassygirls). This was her first photo shoot & I was amazed at how well she did. She met a new little friend that was her age & enjoyed playing with her in between getting her pictures taken. The photographer took great pictures & her office is filled with amazing photos. I'm going to send updated pictures of her & Adyn to Babes N Beaus & keep my fingers crossed we get a call! Adyn got one call a while ago but that same day found out he had strep so no wonder he wasn't his smiley self.

Sorry I did not go into details about Adyn's appointments. I'm trying to do a quick update while he naps. I think for Adyn's 2nd birthday I'm going to make a book out of what I have blogged so far!

Thanks for all your continued prayers & thoughts. I will post a few pictures above of McKenzie & Adyn. Until next time...
