Today's kind of a big deal. Back in June, when things were not going well for Ryan (the weekend we were advised to 'stay close' because our options were running out), there was a card at his bedside one morning with a follow-up appointment booked for Dec. 13. I thought, hey - do they know something we don't? Is he gonna make it? Turns out the pre-booked appointment had nothing to do with his prognosis, it is standard practice for the follow-up team to see the babies at 4 months corrected. The timing of said appointment was - interesting. Anyhow, as we know Ry pulled through, and today's the day. I'm a bit nervous because the reason they see the babes @ 4 months is because this is the time when physical and developmental disabilities can start to show... We know that he is in one of the highest risk for these things, but so far so good. I'm just hoping if we stay on top of his developmental milestones, the impact of these disabilities will be minimized.... and using my wishful thinking powers that he will pull through and defy the odds, as he has done on many occasions before.
Happy 4 months little big boy. (Sadie's new name for her little bro).
