Mr. Gavyn
Today was Gavyn's second neurology follow up at Cardinal Glennon. That and neuro-surgery are always nerve racking because you just don't know what they will say. You hope for the best but they could always see something you are missing, right? Thankfully, Tracy the nurse practitioner thought Mr. Gavyn was doing well. She was not terribly worried about his lack of rolling since he is seeing an OT and soon a PT. She really felt with the extra eyes on him and people working with him on a weekly basis he would be getting the hang of it soon enough. I did share that he had rolled twice on Saturday but not since then. At least not that we have seen... It was comforting to hear that she believes he will catch right back up. Give him some time since he laid in a hospital bed for 21 days and was unable to move. He lost a lot of time for a little man. She was extremely happy to see him sitting up and doing it so well! He doesn't have to go back until he is 1 unless there is a major change for the worse. Of course no one is expecting that! It seems that Mr.Gavyn is starting to get a more normal routine for Doctors... back to wellness check ups and much longer periods in between Glennon trips. Slowly, slowly the turtle wins the race.

Just curious, since he was "out" for about a month do they think he will continually develop slower than most children? Or will he eventually catch up?

His Pediatrician has said things like that. It stands to reason for one so little that if they lose a whole month of development that they will need to catch up. I sort of think of it as if he were premature. They always go by when they should have been born instead of when they actually arrived on scene. Make sense?
ReplyDeleteYep! So glad he's made it this far and continues to do so well. Hope things continue in that pattern for everyone!! He truly has been a miracle! :)
