Doctor, Doctor

After our 2 year well check, Dr. Harrison wanted us to take Liv & Logan to see a specialist in relation to the umbillical hernias they had as babies because he felt the defects were still open.  He figured they wouldn't recommend fixing them & I assumed that would be the case too.  But we still figured we'd get our piece of mind, so we went to see Dr. Raynor last week.

He says: 
*Livi's defect is completely closed.  She just has a pretty big outie of skin left.

*Logan still has a defect there, infact you can see it bulge a little when he crys.  However it is less than 1cm in size & he doesn't feel a loop of bowel could even fit out any more.  He says defects that are smaller than 1cm at this point, 90% of them close on their own by age 5.  So he wouldn't recommend doing anything until then. 

Score & score!

Thinking about them growing & changing & looking at the pictures at the end of the boys' new buzz cuts blog made me think about how much they have grown in the past year.  So I wanted to look back.  Whats funny is they all gained basically 6.5 pounds & each grew 4.5-4.75 inches from 1 to 2.  But just look at their percentiles increasing as they continue to "catch up" from preemie-hood.

We also got a letter back from the TIPS developmental follow-up program.  Basically said that from the information we submitted, they are on track developmentally.  And we'll hear from them again in a year.
