Busy as usual

Well, we have been busy lately. Last Friday Reagan got her Cranial band. She looks really cute. I will update with pictures soon. Then we had to go back to charlotte Monday to get it adjusted. Then Tuesday Blake, who has another cold, went for his follow up with the ENT and ct scan of his sinuses. He has another double ear infection. The scan showed his sinuses were blocked and unable to drain. So, he will have surgery on Feb.8 to have his adenoids removed and tubes in his ears. He will also have sinus surgery to unblock his sinuses. We go next Friday to have another scan and they will determine for sure if he needs sinus surgery. If they clear up then it will be just tubes and adenoids.
Today (Wednesday) Reagan had a follow up with the GI doctor. Everything is going well. They adjusted her formula volume and increased her dose of prevacid. Since she does not take her formula by mouth she will be fed more at night. So, now we will fed her 95ml (appr. 3oz) 5 times during the day along with baby food and 245 ml(8 oz) at night over 6 hours. Now that she is eating solids (baby food) she will have more room to practice eating. She is doing well with the baby food. So, we hope that she is only refusing the bottle because of the bad tasting formula. We will try her on regular cow's milk when she turns one.
Reagan has a cold also and has been crying at night but no fever, so I decided to take her to the pediatrician. She had another double ear infection! She is doing better now.
She is still seeing all the therapist and is making progress. She rolls from her tummy to her back and is rolling from her back to her side now too.
We are still working on strengthening the left arm and side and full range of motion with her neck and tummy time. Although now that she can roll over she doesn't stay on her tummy, she just rolls right over as soon as you lay her down.
I will try to put pictures up soon. I am terrible with that.
Have a great weekend,
Phil and Tammy
