On May 18th, Ty’s 8th tooth came in :).<\/p>\n
On May 6th, his pulmonoligst released him from his care! No more regular appointment unless we need something.<\/p>\n
On May 11th, his neurologist said “He is a miracle”. No sign of CP still! Yeah!<\/p>\n
On May 20th, we sent Ty’s Sat Monitor back to Praxair! BIG STEP!<\/p>\n
On June 6th – Ty was RELEASED into the big wide world!<\/strong> Yeah! We are no longer on lockdown!<\/p>\n Eating<\/strong> – He is doing better! We have determined that it is easiest to get him to eat things that are frozen. His favorite? Frozen peas! Isn’t that wild? He loves them! He also LOVES Ice Cream. Blue Bell’s Bananna Split is awesome \ud83d\ude42 .<\/p>\n He still chokes a lot and doesn’t eat much but he is starting to eat a little more finger food so that is good. <\/p>\n Medications <\/strong>– He is still on Reglan and Omeprazole. Don’t have any idea when we will get him off.<\/p>\n Illness <\/strong>– His cold lasted about 1 and half weeks which was much better than I expected. As it turned out, he had an ear infection. He was fine for about a week and then yesterday his nose started running again and he was coughing a bit in his sleep. I figured this would happen when we went “out”. It will probably take some time to build up his immunity so I think we will likely have several summer colds. I just hope he isn’t one of those kids with repeat ear infections. All in all though, I’d say he did pretty darn well to wait until he was 16 months before getting an ear infection. (Tanner has actually never had one).<\/p>\n Talking<\/strong> – I am a little concerned that he isn’t adding words. He is still at the same 4 – Ma Ma, Da Da, Ta Ta, and No No No. I think he is trying to say “Yah” though. I comes out “Ah”. He responds with this word when you ask him if he wants something or if he is wanting more. The eyebrows raise when he say’s “Ah” too – pretty cute. <\/p>\n Crawling <\/strong>– When we got back from DC he was a crawling pro. No more army crawl, he is on all 4 and is FAST FAST FAST. We have been calling him “Dash”. <\/p>\n Walking<\/strong> – Not yet. He isn’t standing alone either. If I hold his hands he may take one or two steps but that is it. He can cruise along furniture great though. I think it will take awhile yet before he figures this out.<\/p>\n Other Motor Skills <\/strong>– He is pointing and trying to open doors \ud83d\ude42 . He can reach anything. Irregardless of how far out of reach you THINK an object is…he will get it. Jodi was eating dinner next to him last week and I tried to warn her about this. I told her not to order anything red. What does she do? Orders a strawberry fruit drink. She puts it clear to her left side (Ty was on the right). Next thing you know, Ty snags the drink quick as a wink and was about to attempt to drink it. By some miracle of grace, he didn’t spill it. Ty and I had to trade places. I was not going to allow a second attempt.<\/p>\n Mama Bond <\/strong>– When Tanner was a baby he would go to anyone. He didn’t start a mama attachment until 18 months. It appears Ty is going to do the same thing. Ty has just started crying for me if I leave the room. He follows me EVERYWHERE. His favorite word is “Ah Ma” (he has been saying Ma Ma this way for a couple of weeks). I am wondering if my trip to DC is what caused him to make sure I am not going anywhere again?<\/p>\n Church<\/strong> – We went to church for the first time since last summer this past Sunday. Ty loved it. He especially loved the music.<\/p>\n Eyes <\/strong>– Last week I had to take Ty to the Eye Dr. for his regular appointment. It so happened that Amanda was visiting that day so she went with me. When I introduced Amanda to Ty’s Dr., I had to smother a wicked little grin as I watched the surprise play across her face. How does one respond to “This is my son’s birthmom”. Pretty funny to watch. It turned out to be quite convenient because we got to discuss the genetic links to Ty’s esotropia and the Dr. looked at Amanda’s eyes too \ud83d\ude42 . I insisted that Ty is still having crossing issues but she didn’t see them. After a bit of discussion, it boiled down to this. His Dr. agrees that it LOOKS like Ty is experiencing strabismis but he is actually focusing perfectly. She labeled this “Psuedo-Strabismis”. This is where a child appears to be crossing but in reality they aren’t. I guess that depends on how you define crossing. Ty IS crossing but remaining perfectly focused in the center of his eye even when he does. How can you tell? One way is by light reflection. The light reflects out of the center of both pupils irregardless of eye position. Awfully suspicious that this would be pseudo when He DID in fact have a serious issue with this that included surgery but Ty has an awesome Dr. and she can’t determine that his focus is off so….? I don’t know.<\/p>\n Teeth<\/strong> – Ty chipped his top right tooth last week! I have no idea how he did this. Do I fix this? What do you do when a baby chips their tooth? Aaaghhh! He looks pretty adorable and I am not about to put him under anethesia again to fix this at the moment so I don’t know what we will do yet. Here is a picture:<\/p>\n My little busy boy keeps me running. By the end of the day sometimes, I can’t wait for my beautiful boy to drift away to sleepy town. He has been liking mommy to hold him at night and is getting pretty mommy dependant when he is sleepy. I love it. Nothing better than cuddling a tired little boy. These are the special times that fade so fast…I don’t want to miss a moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Age: 17 months actual – 13 months corrected Weight: 23.8 pounds Length: 31.5 inches Progress Report On May 18th, Ty’s 8th tooth came in :).
