Well, I'll tell you! He is fast approaching his very FIRST birthday (*gasp!!*) and is doing just fantastic!
For one reason or another, over the past several months my little man has had trouble putting on weight. I tried everything I could, and he continued to grow in length (he's very long and skinny), but he just wasn't fattening up! So we started seeing a dietitian, who was able to help me learn how to watch his calories and adjust his diet slightly so that he is getting more calories in a day. The result? After only a week and a half, he has already gained half a pound! YAY!
We have also been watching his blood pressure, and it's doing great! Staying right where it needs to be. Therefore, we were able to take him OFF one of his medications this week, which was really great news! He is still on the other two, but we're hoping that we're now on the road to getting him off all his medications.
So, yeah, these days, he's a pretty happy boy!!!
I CANNOT believe that he is going to be ONE next week?!?! It just boggles my mind! He is a long boy, but so glad he's chunking up! And praise the Lord his blood pressure is doing better!
ReplyDeleteThis year has flown by. I remember the day this precious miracle was born. I am so privileged to be able to watch him grow and get strong through your blog!
ReplyDeleteSo precious! I can't believe it has been a year either. I remember reading your posts from the hospital. He is just beautiful. God is so good. So excited to hear that he got off one of his meds.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear about the next sweet blessing in a few more weeks. Hope you are feeling well.
Happy Friday-
