Doctors apointments

The kids had there doctors appointments this week. Zak's MRI on his neck went very well. We are happy to say things look great! They showed us the scan of his spinal Cord prior to the surgery and now 2 1/2 years later. It is amazing to see the changes. His spinal cord was 1/3 the size it is now. We are so thankful everything was a success and have not had any more issues. He also met with GI and nutrition. Everything looks good. He is up to 33 pounds.

Callie's also went well. She had all of her developmental evaluations in the morning. They did recommend a benik vest. It looks like a neoprene life jacket that fits tight. It will help her sit up more straight when we are working on therapy. She is also going to get Ankle Foot Orthotics (AFO's). These are ankle braces that will help her ankle stay at a 90 degrees bend so she does not lock her knees when she stands. We pick those up in 2 weeks. She also met with GI and nutrition. They are pleased with how she is doing. We got back in December to re-check her formula. That will most likely be our last visit with Dr. Park as he is getting ready to retire. He is an amazing doctor and has been a huge asset to our medical team over the years. We will miss him so much!!!

This will be another busy week as Zak starts school!!
