Finally! Some Good News!

Praise the Lord! I took Luke to see the doctor for his 1 year well check visit and what a great visit it was!!! Quickly for those who weren't aware, I shall recap. Luke has been a tiny baby from the beginning and a few months ago he had completely fallen off the chart in height and weight. We also found out that he was anemic. The more I fed him the more he seemed to spit up so were getting no where. Well through lots of prayers, things are looking up. His blood count is good, so he is no longer anemic and he has gained 2lbs!! He now weighs 16.8, he still is not on the chart in weight but he is getting closer! His height is now back on the chart, he is 28 in. which puts him in the 5th percentile and his head is in the 25th. And to top it all off....he finally got a tooth!!!!! We felt his gums this morning and low and behold there it was popping out of the top! We expected the one on the bottom to come through first so we were a little suprised at the top one, but hey we'll take what we can get! :) Oh Dr. Crabtree also said we didn't have to buy formula anymore, now that's a huge THANK YOU JESUS!! LOL That stuff is expensive. Obviously the formula was not the most important but it was still exciting to hear!

Dr. Crabtree is so thoughtful too, he decided to switch Luke's shots. He gave him his 15 month shots today and will give the ones he would have gotten today at his 15 month check up. The reason he did this was because the vaccines he was supposed to get today carry live viruses and he didn't want to take the chance of Luke giving dad the virus. I would have NEVER thought about that. What a great doctor to think about that!

I took Luke to see Papa after his appointment. Mom told me later that Dad teared up looking at Luke, which of course made me cry, but we'll make sure Luke always remembers his Papa!!!
