Addy will be getting her best birthday present ever, but she probably will not even know it. Tyler will be getting his lip closure surgery on Addy's fourth birthday in July! We didn't pick this date, you kind of have to do what the University of Michigan tells you to do. So poor Addy will celebrate a day earlier, and thank goodness she cannot read a calander yet. I am sure she will not mind though getting her presents 24 hours earlier than years previous.
Tyler was a champ today at the doctors. He had his first offical cleft team appointment, met his doctor, and even visited with a social worker. Unfortunately the social worker said he couldn't have a bridge card or medicaid, little good that visit did us, mommy was hoping for at least a free gallon of milk! There has definately been movement in his pre-maxilla from the taping and we will continue to tape until July. Our next appointment in three days will be with the ENT at the U. They will evaluate him for the possiblility of tubes in his ears. Even though he has had no ear problems yet, they usually put the tubes in to ward off problems in the future. We couldn't help but laugh as we were sitting in the clinic today for two hours waiting for the doctor, and Ty was smerking under his pacifier. I said to him "yes, Ty, this is a fine mess you got us in", and he just smerked away and closed his eyes. Didn't bother him to give up a day and spend it in Ann Arbor. I am pretty sure he just likes the shopping options up there. Last appointment it was Target and Red Robin, today he can add to his list, Babies R Us, Famous Footwear and Chili's. Most babies don't get out this much in their first month, I wonder if he knows its ok to just be normal and not a social overachiever?
Last thought, Tyler is a porker!! He tipped the scales today at 10lbs 0.5 ozs,, yikes boy,, he is exactly one month old. He just started taking 5 ounces of formula at a time, but still wants it frequently. I am seeing spoons and cereal in his near future!
I am very thankful this weekend that all my eggs have hatched and I can no longer drop any eggs into the nest,,, Happy Easter Blog Readers!!
