Little Update

This month has been a pretty quiet one for Judah - praise the Lord! - so there hasn't been too much to tell:) No unforeseen doctor appointments because of sickness, no procedures, no major follow-ups - aahhh! Overall Judah is doing well and staying healthy. He's responding well to his testerone injections. He's doing well on the tube feedings, and is now 14 lb. 11 oz. He's progressing in his therapy. He's so close to totally rolling over by himself; his head control and neck strength is getting better and better; he's showing improved trunk strength; he's able to lift his head off the floor when he's on his tummy; and he's now able to sit in a booster seat (with a back and a tray) at the table with us and explore different toys and mushy foods on his tray:) He's not eating solids yet, but he sure likes to play with them! He's as happy and content as ever! I did, however, finally discover 2 things that Judah officially strooongly dislikes: water and grass. It's almost humorous how mad he gets when either of those things touch his feet!

*Wait, I just realized we did have one extra dr. appointment this month. Oh, so close. It was minor though. Just a bacterial infection on his scalp that needed a topical antibiotic. *

Anyway, I'm so thankful for this break we've had this month! May and June are going to be much busier. And today I'm so thankful that Jared's sister and her family are coming for a visit! They've never been to Omaha, so we can't wait to show them where we live, where we worship; our new hometown we love!! Major bummer that the weather probably won't cooperate, but we'll still have a blast:)

  1. So encouraging to hear that Judah is growing! And also what a blessing to have a slower (I know you are still crazy busy with 4 though!) month.
    My boys both hated grass too! :)
    Love you, B!
