Doing Better and other good news

Sorry I haven't updated in a few days. The good news is we haven't been back to the ER, the bad news is when Rachel took him into see our pediatrician on Monday she discovered Isaiah had dual ear infections on top of his other maladies. For a couple of days there he was on 8 medications. We're down to 5 now including his nebulizer treatments. He's doing better but still has the occasional coughing spell and is vomiting once in awhile.

In development news he fully flipped over on his own finally and didn't like it one bit. He hates his tummy time since his hands are so sensitive, but for the last month he's been hanging out on his side a bunch more so we knew it was only a matter of time before he would make it all the way over. He's a bit delayed in doing this compared to an average kid, but much of it has to do with his hands sensitivity and the pain/discomfort being reason enough not to try to do it on his own earlier.

Speaking of his hands, we just found out from Dr Fearon's office that our insurance has accepted him as an in network provider for minimally the first stage of finger separation. They're still working on getting Medical City in Dallas contracted in too, but its looking good for having the vast majority of his finger separations covered as in network. Currently we're scheduled for surgery on April 21 which is less than a month away!

Glad to hear Izzy is doing a little better and finishing some of his medicines. Hopefully the ear infections will clear up soon too!

That is awesome news about your insurance with Dr. Fearon's office. We've had Aiden's surgeries done there and I know you will be super pleased with your care (both by Dr. F and Med. City). You are in good hands!

Take care!
