Hey Everybody! David had his 18 month check up about a week ago. He is getting so big. He measured 35 1/2 inches long and 32lbs. His Leg Length difference has increased from just under 1/2 inch at his 15 month check up to 2cm. I called the Orthopedist and we go in on the 18th to get a new prescription for a shoe lift.
We had him evalutaed with an ENT and an audiologist because he doesn't seem to have any vocabulary. (except mama and dada). His hearing is fine. They said it is possible that he is just "A Stubborn Boy" and doesn't want to talk. But, because of his conditions we need to get him checked out to make sure he is OK. We also go back to ENT on the 25th to get the lymph gland on his neck evaluated. If it is still enlarged then we will be scheduling surgery to have it removed and sent in for testing.
We finally got his MRI scheduled. It is for May 8th. This one only covers his legs and abdomen. They are doing it with and without contrast to check for any venous or lymphatic malformations. His spine was also supposed to be getting checked but the radiologist didn't think it was that important. We also needed it before April 1st but what do I know I am just Mom.
But that's ok. If Norfolk wants them done sooner then we can have them done while we are there. We go in on Monday 3-17-08 to get an ultrasound of his abdomen to make sure that everything is normal. This is his quarterly Ultrasound that is now 7 weeks late.
Everything is coming together for our visit to Norfolk CHKD. We are starting to get excited. I am slowly receiving the letters we need from his doctor's, so all is well.
We are all getting a break from the doctor's this week. Hannah's pre-school class is having an Easter Party on Thursday. It is going to be so much fun. We are all looking forward to a change of pace. Take care and I will let you know what goes on with our appointments.

Hi Amber--Michael was very slow to begin talking. He was still only using a couple indistinct sounds at age 2. I'll bet once David starts, he'll never stop if he's anything like my kids LOL! <br>love, geneva
