9 mth check-up

Today Brooke had her 9mth check-up. Her doctor was very pleased at her progress. Overwhelmed I should say. The only concern he has is her right eye has a tendency to float inward. So I called her ophthalmologist today to see if he wanted to see her sooner than March. He wants to see her on Dec. 20 for a full eye exam again. Everyone please pray for her that her eyes/vision are okay. She weighed 17#15oz (25th %), 28 1/2 in tall (75th %) and her head circ was 16 3/4 in (10th %). Since microcephaly (small head) is part of the CMV disease process Dr. Brian is not worried as long as her head continues to grow. She got 2 shots which was terrible. She cried more with 2 shots than the 4 in the previous visits. But big brother Ben was there to help comfort her and make her laugh and forget about the pain. All in all we had a great visit. Oh yeah her left ear is looking better from the infection.

I love reading about Brooke's progress. Cheli had given us her name to put on our prayer list at church. They are both precious. Amanda W. Taylor
