Weekend Update

Callie has had a couple of follow-up doctors visits over the last couple of weeks. The first one was with her eye doctor. Callie's "lazy eye" hasn't improved much, although, sometimes, especially in the mornings it is perfectly in sync. He still wants to give her body the chance to correct on its own, although he doesn't feel this is likely. With preemies he likes them to be at least one year adjusted age before doing surgery. He has instructed us to continue patching her good eye for one hour a day and we will see him again at the end of the summer.

The second appointment was with her Neurosurgeon. He was extremely happy with her progress. He has always been very business like with us. This time, you could see his excitement with how well she is doing. He kept saying that he couldn't believe she is a 24 weeker! Obviously, we were thrilled to hear that!

The weather this weekend was beautiful. We made our first family trip to the Inner Harbor to see some friends from the NICU that were in town for doctors appointments. It was great to catch up with them and see how well their daughter is doing. It was also great for them to see Callie because the last time they saw her she weighed about 2 pounds.

Callie is really starting to enjoy "guppies". Each week, she has gotten more involved in her swimming lessons. She is starting to kick her legs and just starting to do the arm motions. We think this has been a really great experience for her!
