Neurology Appt today :)

Zach had his follow-up appt today with his Neurologist. She was SO pleased with the progress he has maid since their last appt 4 months ago. She would ask a question not expecting to hear Zach was able to do whatever it was (walk backwards, squat down, run, name 6 body parts) and every time i answered yes she was more and more surprised :) All in all he is just a little behind still in his fin motor skills, but other than that he is right where he should be developmentally for his adjusted age (which will be 2 on Monday!) That was such exciting news!!

She also gave us a referral to get the MRI done that they have been wanting to do on Zach for a while, and now that he is off of oxygen and is 2 it is the perfect time to do so. They want to get a look to see if his brain is showing any signs of the possible stroke he had when he was in septic shock (in the NICU when his intestine perforated). Also they want to check to see what the remnants are of his brain bleeds he had when he was first born. He doesn't seem to show any signs of having brain problems, but (as is the story of our life) its better to check it out just in case :)
