Grow Baby Grow


So today was Gavin's day. We had two doctors appointments and two thearpy sessions. What a busy day it was. First, I took Gavin to his Endocrine appointment which measures his growth. Turns out he has grown 3.8 inches in four months and gained two pounds. This is huge for Gavin and we are so thrilled the hormones are working. They have actually bumped up his dosage so by next time hopefully he will gain some more. Then we went to the eye doctor. Gavin is still not wearing his glasses and the doctor wants us to keep trying. Yah right, he doesn't have to try to get the kid to wear them! He gave us some drops which will blur his vision and allow the glasses to help him see. Hopefully this will work and he will learn to wear his glasses the hard way. I feel bad doing this but if it is the only way to get them on the kid it is worth a shot. If this eventually doesn't work in fixing his crossed eyes he will have to have surgery. We are thinking of going to see another eye doctor to see what they say. I just don't want to put Gavin through another surgery if I don't have to. Well, that is all I have so far. Gavin is taking a nap right now and then we are off to thearpy. Luckily I can sit and read my book for a couple hours while Gavin is hard at work.
