Preemie Follow-up visit

Josh went to his Preemie follow-up visit. Yale does two, one at 6-months adjusted and one at 18. The great news was that the "test" was performed by one of our favorite fellows Yesid. It was great to see her. They did a series of tests with toys to see where he is developmentally. It is mostly a study to see how preemies do after they get home. Josh is on track socially (go figure LOL) and a bit behind even his adjusted age for gross motor, fine motor and cognitive. Basically when most babies are reaching certain milestones, Josh was busy just trying to grow/breathe/live. They do believe that eventually (sometime before age 2-5) he will have caught up totally so that is good news.

We have he pedi opthalmologist on Thursday. Hopefully that will go well!

We have an appointment with the opthamologist Thurday too!! I have no doubt Joshua will be caught up in time. He's such a trooper. Keep growing big sweet boy.

Alden is a bit delayed too, even for his adjusted age. Like you said, it's to be expected! He is growing and developing into such a charming little baby boy. Good luck at the appointment tomorrow!
