Miss Savannah weighs 14 lbs. and can roll occasionally, has decent head control tolerating tummy time for no more than 5 minutes. Loves to be talked to and held...coos and smiles at momma.
Went to her neonatal follow up doc today...her weight is on track, but she's a wee bit short. First steps will probably he focusing on physical therapy most with occasional visits from speech, hearing and visual therapists. She is a little behind on her visual tracking and her main concern now is opening up her hands more often while on her belly to push up to crawl and pull up to stand later down the road whenever she decides to. They evaluate her according to her adjusted age (3 months). We also learned today that babies with low tone tend to sleep more often...which explains her laziness. 😊

Busy Girl
Savannah has been busy with her many appointments. Here's a quick update on what all is going on with this girl:
-Surgeon that placed her G tube wants to wait on fixing her little bottom...wants her to thankfully just have a chance to grow and be a little baby for once...said she's been through enough right now.
-Heart doc came right in talking surgery on her narrowed aorta so I stopped him in his tracks...its the same so we are leaving it alone for now. We also learned that her heart has some mild thickening.
-She failed her hearing test again...only hears high pitch noises. Retesting later this month before saying she definitely needs hearing aids.
-In the process of finding her a pediatrician that is the right fit for her.
-Made a quick trip to Louisville the other day thinking her balloon that holds her feeding tube in was leaking...well it wasn't...but she got a brand new tube put in which she would have been due for next month anyway. Jon and I got to watch it be put in.
-More appointments to come in the near future...will keep ya posted...she's doing so well at home!
