Day Off

We finally have a day off during the week without any appointments or taking Vince anywhere so I thought I would give a quick update and post some new pictures. There hasn't been much new information, which is a good thing because Vince has been doing really good lately. Recently, we met with the neurosurgeon for a checkup and he said that it looks like the shunt is still working properly but we will have an ultrasound in a couple of weeks verify. That appointment was last Wedensday and he weighed in at 9lbs, 9oz so he is gaining weight well. He's probably pushing 10lbs at this point. Physical therapy has been going well, he seems to be improving at every session except that he gets really frustrated when we do "tummy time" and he kept falling asleep during therapy yesterday. It's rough being a baby. Tomorrow we have therapy in the morning and then off to Kalamazoo for an EEG. Next Tuesday we will meet with the Neurologist to discuss the results of the EEG and possibly start taking him off of the seizure medication if his brain activity looks normal. Next week we also have an appointment with the Urologist to evaluate his bladder and kidney functions and he is having a swallowing study done to determine if he has any issues with reflux.

This weekend we are taking our first overnight trip with Vince up north to Torch Lake. The whole Coors side of Andrea's family will be there from Texas and Wisconsin so Vince will be meeting a lot of people. Hopefully the weather is nice for everyone and that Vince does well away from home.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July weekend.

Nick, Andrea and Vince
