Follow up at Riley's

Thursday we took Ben back to Riley's for his follow up appointment with the pulmonologist. It went great. She said he was a healthy, strong baby. He weighed 9lbs 12 oz so he is obviously growing like a weed. The only disappointing thing was we were supposed to see the hematologist after the 1st appointment and he couldn't see us so we couldn't do a sonagram on his blood clot. He called the other doc and had her look at and they decided to error on the side of caution and continue the Lovanox injections until we come back in July. I wasn't happy about sticking him twice a day until July when they didn't even get to check and see if the clot was going away. I called back and it got moved up to June 15th to continue shots and then they will sonagram it and we can hopefully be done with them.

On another note: We are getting our money's worth from our insurance company. We had to take Ava for a little trip to the ER yesterday. I gave her a bath in the afternoon and as I stood up to get her towel she thought it would be a good idea to jump in an empty, wet bathtub. Of course she fell down and split her chin open. It was about 1/2 inch across and kind of in the crease under her chin. You can't see it until she tips her head back a little. Amazingly enough it didn't bleed much and she cried just a little. Jeff came home a few minutes later and thought we should take her to the ER so we did. They superglued it instead of stitches and we were on our way. It doesn't seem to be bothering her at all.

Hopefully I will get a chance to post some new pictures of the kids this weekend. Hope everyone enjoys their long weekend.
