We are fast approaching Reese's 1st Birthday...2 more sleeps to be exact! I still cannot believe it. Reese was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis on April 20, only 10 days after she was born. I am feeling a bit anxious as the diagnosis day approaches and many feelings have been creeping up on me. A lot has to do with a year of her life passing by with there still being no cure. CF is a progressive disease, so each day that passes with no cure is a bit frightening. But, we must forge ahead and trust in the Lord's ultimate plan, knowing He is in control.
We had Reese's 3 month check up with her Pulmonologist Dr. Wallace on Tuesday, April 6 and she passed with flying colors. Well, minus the traumatic experience of getting on the scale and getting measured...oh and the blood-curdling screaming when Dr. Wallace pulled out his stethoscope. Silly girl. My chunky monkey weighs 27.8 lbs and is 29 1/2 in. long. She's measuring above the 97th percentile...just by the skin of her teeth :) Anyway, we are delighted Reese has been growing so well, and Dr. Wallace said she was doing very well in all other areas too. This is such a relief for us, because as we have learned, it can change in the blink of an eye. But for now, we will take the good appointment and concentrate on enjoying life!!! Oh, and frantically getting things ready for a certain little cutie pies birthday party! I will post pictures of the bash soon!!!
PS...we were also told that Reese could be getting THE VEST in about 6 months. How great is that!!!

Chub-a-lub!!!! Oh, I love it!! Lots for you to pinch and kiss all day :).
ReplyDeleteJust curious, are they waiting for Reese's chest to grow to a certain size? Asher got his when he was 10 months old, so I was just wondering what they told you.
