Old Friends

On Monday Morgan had a follow-up with her pediatrician. Since it is in the medical center, I dropped by the NICU to let them see how big Morgan has grown (12 lbs!). I had hoped to visit with some of her former nurses, but was unlucky that all of her regular nurses were not working. We did however get to see two of her regular doctors which I did not expect. It was funny to see them discreetly check her muscle tone, eye movement, etc. We will always appreciate how good they were to Morgan and us.

Her Doctors appoitment went well. Luckily she doesn't have much going on. Her coughing and reflux has improved tremendously and they were all in agreement that she was already teething. We have tried so many different teething toys but nothing has worked better than washing our hands and letting her gnaw on one of our fingers. She will have a followup swallow study in a few weeks to see when we can begin to wean her off of the simply thick gel (being added to her milk since she was aspirating a little bit of it). Early Childhood Intervention is still coming every other week and does not see anything to worry them. Morgan is rolling from her belly to her back but not quite mastered the opposite.

Grandma has not seen her in a while so we are excited to see her for Easter next weekend. All she has heard is Morgan's screaming in the background on the phone. Now she can hear it in person. haha


Forget all the fancy toys


Beginning to smile and softly laugh


Dr. Ursula Nawab was with us from the delivery room on. She knew Morgan's chart front to back and with binders of information that was no small feat!


Dr. Amir Khan, Medical Director. Dr Khan was our Doctor after the first week and was very upfront with us on everything. No sugar coated information which was hard to swallow but glad to know the truth. Morgan has also started to pull her clothes up and put them in her mouth. This one had a bow so it was even more tasty.
