Chase turned 6 months old on April 19th. Where has the time gone? My little man is not so little anymore, weighing in at 19lbs 8oz and 27inches long. He's also wearing 12 month clothes!
He's rolling and starting to be able to sit up for longer periods of time! He's been teething, but no teeth poking out yet. It's a great feeling to see how far we have come.
He had his urodynamic testing last month also. We recieved the results of that yesterday: (ahem)
THERE IS NO NEED TO CATH HIM OR ADMINSTER MEDS!!!!
He emptys his bladder well. We go back for a recheck in 6 months and depending on how that looks, his urology visits will drop to yearly!!!
However.... :-/
Chase's testicle still has not decended so his urologist has decided to surgically intervene. The good news is, it's an outpatient procedure and can be done a Lake Forest Hosptial which is a lot closer that Children's, especiall since Children's is moving in June.
We see his neurosurgeon on May 22nd. He will have his routine MR Ventricles and we will see if they are still small and we can turn his shunt down again or if they are stable.
In some other news:
Our friend Mark is in a contest to win a new van for him and his mom. If you would like to vote for him, please do so here. You can vote once a day and if he and his mom win this van it would be a huge help!!!
