Thursday Thankfulness...

No, really... Piper is thankful for A LOT!! She just had a mini melt down before she reigned it in and we talked about our thankful hearts!! Our untransposed, thankful hearts!!

We are ohhh so thankful for a handful of amazing reports recently... So I figured why not make a "Top 5 of Thankfulness!!" 

 

 

5) The Synagis shot (that helps prevent RSV) was approved for administration this winter!! (November through April baby!!) She's the last person you want getting RVS... Well, maybe not THE LAST, but she's at least in the top 10!! Next to all her preemie buddies from the NICU!!

4) Piper's blood was drawn... yet again!! It's getting to the point where she could probably draw her own!!

This latest round was to recheck her white blood cell count. Sister has been low for quite some time!!

Thank you Jesus that this time around her value had doubled!! It still puts her {just} outside of the normal range - but her pediatrician is happy - so mama is happy!!

3) Piper had her nine month check up on 9/16/14 and she checked out beautifully!! Dr Marcotte said her heart sounds like that of a normal 9 month old!! No murmur heard WHAT.SO.EVER!! 

{The Stats}

Weight: 22# 14oz (95%)

Height: 30 1/2 in (>97%) 

We were told she is the size of an average 15-16 month old! Wow! There is no denying we grow em' big at our house!! 

 

She still has NO teeth... But he wasn't worried!! He thinks "anyday now!!" Which is comical, because we heard that at the 4 and 6 month check up as well!!  

Piper took her flu shot like a champ!! And wasn't any less happy in the day or two after!! But let's not talk about her daddy!! I'm pretty sure he did enough complaining for the both of them!!

I'm thankful for anything that doesn't throw off her sleep at night or make her crabby during the day!!

2) Early On came and did an evaluation of Piper Pie last week. Diane said she is doing everything she should - plus some!!  We are making all our milestones so she's comfortable not coming back until the first of the year!!

1) WE ARE ON THE BOOKS WITH DR LEE!!

 Technically we weren't suppose to go back until December. But I felt strongly that perhaps we should go in November prior to loading Piper with flu shots, Synagis shots, and her (four) 12 month vaccines. That's a lot of pokes, my friends!! If we have any chance of getting her to lay still for an echo - we need to do it before she is scared to death of anything doctor related!!

 

 

Let the prayers rise for continued good news and a great visit with Dr. Lee come mid November!!
