Hey guys - just stopping by at a totally wierd hour for me to be DIS'ing, but I am trying to do some work - and well, that means I must DIS.
Everything is fine after today, but more follow ups are needed. She had blood drawn to do some chromosomal workups - see she has numerous little things wrong, and I mean little, but when taken together they get worrisome. Everything obvious has been ruled out, but they want to see if they can target stuff we can't see - i.e. not behavioral. On the related matter of her positional plagio, she needs to have some follow up visits rapidly to see if we get some more progress, and then in the next couple of weeks, we will determine whether she needs a helmet or not. She will be getting physical therapy for her tilt she now has in the way she holds her head - again caused by the way she lays her head.
It seems bad when written out, but really, nothing really is going on with her - its all cosmetic. They found her to be a totally pleasant baby beyond belief - she smiled within a minute of them drawing blood, she cooed at every doctor, med student, and PA she saw and gave them huge smiles, and she basically is above normal for all developmental indicators.
So essentially what lays ahead of us is all good - if she needs a helmet I guess I am OK with it, but I don't think she will - if they find anything in the chromosome test, I say, Thank God they did it and we had a proactive doctor. So in my mind its all really fine stuff.
Oh, they did find that even though everyone says she will be a piano player because she has the longest fingers anyone has ever seen, she will not be one. She has some fusion in her bones of her two ring fingers that no one had ever noticed - but that will now be added to her list of little "things". So I guess I am a little sad about that, but come on - she's going to be a Supreme Court Justice anyways so its neither here not there and I hated piano lessons anyways.
. I gotta say though, I do have clean underpants in my drawer (you know, us woman have a different color of underwear per every outfit we own 
) I'll be folding my laundry in front of the TV after the girls are in bed.
