second appointment at the children's hospital

All the blood work is back and Lilah has a clean bill of health! We are so thankful. She gained 2 lbs since her last visit 6 weeks ago, which now puts her in the 25th percentile for weight. Her height and head circumference are still in the 50th percentile, so she is gaining perfectly and right on target. The only thing she is low on is vitamin d, and she is now taking drops for that, however we had more blood work done today to confirm she is still low, the pediatrician thinks she might be within the normal range now. This Thursday Lilah has an appointment with the Audiology clinic for a hearing test and on the 14th of May she has an appointment with the Ophthalmologist.

The pediatrician was amazed with the number of words Lilah can now say, since she has really only been immersed with us English speaking folk for 4 months now. I took the time last week and wrote down as many words as I can remember that she says and understands.
