Orthopetic appointment

Today went and the orthopedic surgeon for Ella's 6 month check up from her undeveloped hip. They did an X-ray and everything came back great, doctor would like to follow up in 1 year. She said she cant believe how much Ella has improved over the last 3 months. Next I took all three kids to the pediatrician Marian caught a virus while she was on winter break, Brayden has a sinus infection (not contagious) put on an antibiotic and Ella was sent for yet another X-ray of her chest to rule out pneumonia. Doctor measured Ella's head to make sure she wasn't having symptoms of fluid pressure in her brain, everything checked out ok as far as the outside of the shunt. Ella weighed in at 14.5lbs, a week ago she was 13.4lbs. YAY gaining weight finally!!!! Both doctors mentioned that Ella is too big for her car seat, so we are going to try and get an convertible seat asap. End result Ella has a virus in her lungs bronchitis. We wait for a few more days if things dont clear up we will have to go visit the doctor again. All in all we received ok, good and wonderful news today!!!
