Ellie Update

We had three appointments this week. First, Ellie saw the craniosacral therapist. There is nothing new or exciting to report on that front. Adam was happy that the appointment was a little bit shorter, showing that Ellie has made progress in that it takes less time to do her releases.

Next we saw the developmental pediatrician. They are the clinic that will follow Ellie and kind of coordinate all of her doctors and therapies. They will be the ones that will make sure she is getting the care she needs. First, they evaluated Ellie's weight and diet. Ellie now weighs 10 lb 11 oz. They are increasing her feeds at a faster pace to see if she will grow at a little faster rate. They have also ordered up another physical therapist to visit our house weekly. They are not sure if insurance will cover it, but they are going to try so that Ellie may be able to progress a little faster.

Today we met with a new pediatrician that we like very much. She will take over the care of Ellie now. We are excited to find someone that understands our concerns about Ellie.

I've had a few questions about the "product placement" on this blog:

Ellie's cute kimonos are from Babysoy and from Kate Quinn Organics. The best price for Babysoy is at Babycenter; there are always deals with free shipping or coupon codes. You can find Kate Quinn organics at lots of stores. I always look around for a coupon code ;)

Ellie wears cloth diapers from Motherease. Her diaper covers were knit by a friend :)
