Two whole months? Really?

That's the word from Dr Alden - we don't have to come back for two months! It's a small step but a big one in our eyes. Dr Alden thought Cameron looked good and we will continue to monitor for signs of shunt malfunction or infection. The ventricles looked good on the Ultrasound - not any bigger and not significantly smaller. If they had drastically reduced in size that often leads to a shunt malfunction. So it appears the shunt is draining just the right amount.
We are still awiting the results on the Renal ultrasound and blood work to learn if the kidney dialtion is still Grade 2. I am hopeful to get that information today.
Physical Therapy continues to go well, we need to work harder on tummy time so that is our assignment for this week.
Last weekend Cameron had two special visitors - Kate and Rachel (mom's friends from highschool). We had a great time with them. They joined us on Sunday for the "One Small Voice" 5K walk to support Hydrocephalus and Optic Nerve Hypoplasia. This foundation was started by Zak's mom who we met at Children's when Cameron had the shunt surgery. It was a wonderful event and it meant a great deal to us to have our friends there to help support such a wonderful cause.
We are headed back to the pediatrician next week for a check up, and we'll get the schedule for Cameron's monthly Synagis injections as October begins RSV season.
I can't even believe that we are almost into October...we are accepting all suggestions for Halloween costume ideas for Cameron :)
