Well, this is just a quick update on the little man. He’s 7 months old today! He still weighs about 8 lbs, 5 oz. I am contemplating buying a baby scale so that I don’t have to go to the post office whenever I want to weigh him! (Yes, I’ve done that twice now!) I saw one on Craig’s List for 70 bucks. They are 300-400 new. He’s supposed to be getting monthly weight checks at the pediatrician, but the screwy insurance thing hasn’t been cleared up. He’s still being covered by CRS (Children's Rehabilitation Services) for his special needs stuff—but they didn’t weigh him at his eye appointments; maybe at Neurology next week they will.
Ezra loves food! He is getting used to using the spoon. He’s had pears and bananas so far, and we think he likes the bananas better. He’s also doing a little better eating from the bottle—he eats about 2-3 oz per feeding now, all on his own. He still falls short at the end of the day, but we’re out of feeding tubes and cannot get any more till the insurance thing is settled.
He is starting to smile a lot more now, as you can see in the blurry picture I’ve posted. Its hard to capture the smile, so I just keep clicking. He's also babbling up a storm--he loves to tell you all his problems!
Please continue to pray for improvements in eating and that he’ll gain weight! He can’t get the next set of genetic tests done till he’s 12 pounds! And that the insurance issue would be cleared up THIS MONTH!
Cheerio!
