Wow, it's been a month!!
I can't believe it's been a month since I've last posted. A lot has happened which I will try to update you on.
Dietrich's health: STILL waiting to hear from his GI Dr. about the results from his biopsy. His primary doctor looked up the results so we know he doesn't have anything serious. But we are still waiting to start him on some type of treatment for the bloody stools, which he still has. Due to the bleeding, he is anemic so we have started him on iron supplement.
He currently has oral thrush (a fungal infection in his mouth) but since the topical solution is not working after two weeks, I put a call in to his doctor so we can try something new.
The helmet is working and his head is rounding out very nicely. We might be able to go to only night wear next month if his progress is going well enough.
Dietrich's milestones: He is doing really well at sitting up, although he still falls over. He scoots along the floor now (our life is officially over as we know it!) and he loves to grab things off the bottom shelf of our coffee table. He has two teeth on the bottom. His hair is actually starting to grow!
My school life: Only two more weeks including this one until finals! I am currently passing all my classes so as long as I pass finals I will be cleared to take my national board exam. If I pass that I will be able to start my clerkship rotations in July. My first rotation is Internal Medicine which is a very demanding one, but at least I'll be able to get it out of the way.
Future plans: On Saturday I'm going to see Wicked with my grandma. She bought tickets back in October with a travel group and thought about taking me. I'm really excited.
We are planning a family vacation to Chicago at the end of June. This will be the first time on an airplane for the baby, so it should be interesting. We have friends there and are excited to spend some time with them and as a family.
That's about it. Sorry, no picture this time, I currently can't find the camera and am too lazy to look for it.
