Lab Results...

Today Nicolas Had another immunization shot.  On Thursday he will get another and we will be caught up to 6 months.  We will wait 6 weeks and begin another series of shots that are typically given at 9 months.  Then wait another 6 weeks and  do it all over again...At that point we will be completely caught up!  So we are getting there!  Because the cause to Nicolas' difficulties is unclear they give him one shot at a time so that there are no complications with any grouping that could possibly make his symptoms worse.  He occasionally will get a slight fever from them...but on Thursday last week he got hives from one...one dose of Benadryl and it went away.  So he is doing pretty good! 

 

Last week we found out about all the recent blood work and a urine test...this was part of genetic testing...it came back negative!  Which is good.  The next step is the muscle biopsy...which we have been told will be done this Spring.  I made a call to Riley today to start setting that up.  I have not heard from them yet but I will let you know as soon as I can about when it will be scheduled.

Nicolas is getting so BIG!  He is officially into his new car seat!  We still have it rear facing...and will continue too until he is 36 pounds.  Developmental Pediatrics at Riley said Nicolas is in an appropriate car seat until then.  Once he is 36 lbs, if he is still not supporting his head and has no trunk control, we will order him a special car seat...one that insurance will cover.  Just making sure our little peanut is safe no matter where we go!

That is all I have today!

Take care!

Love,
