It's been a busy week so far! Doctors appointments every day except Thursday. Yesterday the ophthalmologist saw improvement in Colin's left eye and will hopefully see the same pattern in the right eye when we return to his office on Monday. It's too hard to know what Colin's vision will be in the future, but hopefully he will just be faced with some nearsightedness. Today Andrew and Colin see the physical therapist for a check on their shoe splints that they are wearing to correct the alignment of the outer soles of their feet. Since they were so crowded in the womb their little feet curved inward. Monday we got good news from the orthopaedic surgeon that Colin and Daniel's hip ultrasounds were normal and it looks like their hip dysplasia has resolved. Friday all 3 boys go to the pediatrician for their 2 month checkup and first round of vaccines. The only vaccine they have received thus far is the RSV vaccine and they are due for another round of this today to be given by the home health nurse. The nurse will also check their weights today. When she came last Thursday Andrew weighed 6 pounds 11 ounces, Daniel weighed 6 pounds 8 ounces and Colin weighed 6 pounds 5 ounces. They are outgrowing some of their newborn clothes and have completely outgrown their preemie clothes!
