Some new updates...

Kaiden has been doing great! Hes weighing almost 11lbs now, but still looks like a little peanut! :) We've switched his formula which seems to be helping with his little screaming fits he was having pretty often awhile ago. The dr's also think he may be a little colic too! He loves movement, bouncing, swinging, walking around...definately think hes a little bit colic but hopefully will grow out of it soon. We're seeing alot more smiles out of him now, hes becoming a much happier baby! At a recent appt, the Dr noticed two small dimples above Kaidens hiney. He said it could mean nothing, or it could be something called tethered cord...from my understanding everyone has a "cord" in their back. In healthy people, its very thin and not attached. But in a case of tethered cord, its very thick and attached which causes it to stretch and cause nerve damage if left untreated. We had an appt this afternoon at CHOP with the neurosurgeon about it. He said usually in these cases the dimples are further up on the back, and sometimes the children develop club feet and sometimes have problems with kidneys or bladder. Kaiden has had none of these isses this far thankfully but the Dr wants to have an MRI done to get a better picture, and then go from there. There is surgery to detach the cord, so we will just cross that bridge when we get to it, if thats even necessary. Other than that issue, Kaiden's heart as been doing great, each echo continues to show improvement!! His cardiologist is so impressed! Well id better get off of here and get something to eat while little man is sleeping! :) Hope everyone is doing great!!
