Robbie's 9 month check up was last Wednesday. He is now 17 lbs and 27 inches!
He is now taking Zantac for acid reflux. Already there has been improvement in his sitting and belly times without him getting sick and spitting up. Yay!
There are two things the Doctor is concerned about and you can be in prayer for. Robbie is in the 3rd percentile for weight. She wants us to fatten him up because that is too small. We are now adding yogurt and meats to his diet. The Doctor said the acid reflux could be one of the reasons he is so low weight; the acid keeps him from properly absorbing the nutrients.
The other issue is the fact that he won't put any weight on his legs. When checking him over she heard a "pop" in his left hip joint that hasn't been there before. She thinks this may be a reason for it. Once Robbie's surgery is done and he is healed up she referred us to a Developmental team at Arnold Palmer that we have to take him to. They will do a thorough work up on his developmental skills and let us know if he needs physical therapy or to just wait a few more months and see.
Robbie is happy as ever and other than those two concerns doing well!
Mandy, what surgery is Robbie having?
