Still feeding well...still sleeping all night (knock on wood) Yeah!
Opthamologist appt today:
The structure of her eyes look fine. The doctor considered her to be a little delayed as far as fixating and tracking...but, she said that babies normally develop that skill at about 2-3 months, so that only puts her about 2 weeks behind as of now. She wants to see her again in about 6 weeks to recheck. If there is any delay, it would be neurologic since her eyes look fine.
New call from Dr. Wood:
The thyroid test was abnormal. In the hospital, Lydia's thyroid test was a touch elevated to threaten hyperthyroidism. Now, her level was fine...but, a different test showed that her body is working harder to produce a hormone to level it out, so she has to begin taking a thyroid hormone pill once a day to prevent hypothyroidism. It is all a little confusing to me. I asked if it could be genetic, and he said it was possible....Tiffany and Ms. Hilda both have issues with thyroid (Martin's sister and mom). I'm sure they could shed more light on what all of this means...Tiff and Ms Hilda-if you can, you can comment on this post to educate us all. Dr. Wood said that he sees this a lot and some babies only have to take the hormone for about 3 months. Because he sees it a lot, he doesn't think this is really related to the other problems we are seeing in her. He wants us to see the pediatric endocrinologist (sp?) Dr. Lutfallah at the Lake.

Moon,
I just love reading your blogs. Those little girls are so blessed to have you as their mother. Likewise you are blessed to have them. You are a very special Mom to those special gifts from heaven.
I was talking to Mrs. Darlene (the lady I use to work with that monogrammed the Christmas stockings) last week and she told me that she reads your blogs. I thought that was very special.
Those little girls, as well as the Comeaux clan, hold a big piece of my heart.
Keep on keeping on by doing the great work of being a great Mom.
Love you always,
Dad
PS
Next time you see your Mom, give her a big hug. A lot of your greatness comes from her.
Thanks Dad...I don't know about being as great as you claim...but you are right that much of what I have comes from mom...and from you. Thank you both for YOUR greatness!! I love you!
