This post is going to be sans photos, because I am not at home. I am in PA, and I am babysitting my niece, because my sister had her baby!! (Details to come. I want to let her get home and have the chance to share him with the world first. Let me just say that he is PERFECT. {grin})
The momentous moment that I chose to share came on Friday. We had to take Scotty for a renal ultrasound and an appointment with his nephrologist. If you have not been following my blog for long, let me get you up to speed. In utero my ob discovered that Scotty had something wrong with his kidneys. We knew that it was not life-threatening, but I had to be monitored via ultrasounds to be sure the condition did not get worse. After Scotty was born we were told he had hydronephrosis. An easy way to explain it is reflux in the kidneys. Urine would reflux into his kidneys and get trapped there. For the first year of Scotty's life we monitored him for syptoms and regulary visited his nephrologist. His last appointment was last year, and he was scheduled for his next a year later - which was Friday.
We are praising God because nothing has really changed which is actually a very good thing. The urine in his kidneys is very minimal. So the nephrologist feels as if we have nothing to be concerned about and therefore released Scotty from under his care!!
And in other good news Scotty seems to be finally growing! He was 23 lbs (with clothes and a diaper) on Friday and 32 inches long!! I think he has grown about three inches this summer! (This is a big deal as Scotty has had trouble even being chartable on a growth chart, due to being small.)
And with that being said....my boy is going to be TWO in two weeks!
A healthy two. {grin}
Feel free to link up and share your momentous moment from this past week.
