Update

Well, Lyla Jane had 2 doctor's appointments this past week and this is the full report:

• She is now 12 lbs 9 oz and 25 inches long!
• Dr. Jedele was pleased with the progress she has made in her strength.
• There was some concern that her hips weren't abducting fully, but after an x-ray and appt with the orthopaedic doc, it's confirmed that her hips are totally normal!
• Concerning her eye-crossing, the pediatric opthalmologist still doesn't think it's enough of a concern (since it is so intermittent) to do anything about it.  She'll be re-checked in December when she's a year old.
• Her muscles still have low tone--she is a bit behind with her gross motor skills, and more behind with her fine motor skills.  The OT and PT have given us several things to work on with her.  Please pray that these skills will develop.
• We had doubts about getting the kidney function tests done on her, and had actually cancelled them, but we decided to reschedule them.  They are checking for reflux of her urine from her bladder back to her kidneys.  If this is occurring, it could cause permanent damage to her kidneys, so we'd want to intervene as soon as possible.  These tests will be done on June 24th so please pray that all goes well.

All in all, she is doing just great and is as fun and sweet as ever.  We thank the Lord for every accomplishment she has!  More pics and videos to come . . . Papa is on his way here right now!  He'll be here for the week.  Yay!
