Greyson turned 4 months old on September 7. Wow, how time fly's.
Things have gone really well since the last sclero-therapy
treatment although we haven't seen much shrinkage he is doing
great. Greyson continues to receive care from his Physical
Therapist, Suzy and Special Instructor, Sharon. He really wants to
roll but just can't get over. He loves to suck on his hands and
uses his hands to grasp toys (his left more than his right). We are
working on getting him to prop himself up on his arms when laying
on his belly and hold on to toys with both hands. He likes to lift
his legs up and kick them all around and has even found his feet a
few times.
Greyson had his 4 month check-up today with the pediatrician in Joplin and is growing as he should be. He did have to get shots today which he doesn't like (obviously) but he didn't cry much and didn't seem to feel bad after like last time. He weighs 15 lb 8 oz and is 25 3/4 inches long. That puts him in the 40th percentile for weight and 60th percentile for length.
We have had a chance to visit the lake a few more times and Greyson has enjoyed riding on the pontoon boat now that there have been some cooler days. He traveled with me to Columbia one last time for a week and spent lots of quality time with Grandma Diane. We even took him for his first swim in a pool (he acted like it was nothing - a bath seems to be more fun). Last weekend we went to Wichita to watch his cousins play football and soccer and visited lots of family. One thing we have figured out is that he gets really tired of the car bed and hot as well....and when he's done he let's us know loud and clear. We don't see any long trips in the near future and are working with the car seat lady from Children's Mercy to find an alternative.
Greyson's next appointment is scheduled for October 6 with the plastic surgeons to plan his surgery in January. We are looking forward to an uneventful and quiet fall.
Finally, I figured out how to get the video clips we have been taking of Greyson online for you all to see. Just visit this link and you should be able to see both our mobile uploaded pictures and videos. http://gallery.me.com/higginsb#100150
