One of the first things we noticed about Jack were his motor delays. They are not severe - he is walking, crawling, and starting to crawl up the stairs. However, he is not very steady on his feet, has very little core strength (although his full-hand grasp will pull your arm off), and does not have a pincer grasp. He is making great progress since we met him, but he has some catching up to do. The OT gave me several exercises to do to help him improve in these areas, and I feel like it will happen quickly.
The lab work was awesome of course. Doesn't everyone love having a dozen or so vials drawn for vaccination titres and various other tests. And this week I have feces collection duty. Bonus!
And last, but not least, Jack has a right ear infection. Actually, the left is probably infected too, but it was too full of wax for her to be able to tell completely. She tried pulling it out, but it was in there pretty deep. Which also means we still haven't got a good look at that left ear canal.
All in all, it was a good day - if only for the fact that it went pretty much as expected and I got Jamba Juice at the end. Jack got meatloaf and a banana. We were both happy.
Tomorrow is the plastic surgeon and audiologist, along with a SLP, dietician, and a dentist. Friday is the TB reading. I am already putting that new cell phone to good use.
