I Fell Behind...But He's Still Progressing

Ok so I have been a major slacker on updates lately! Who knows why. We celebrated lil mans 1st birthday! We had friends and family get together at a Pizza place here in town and had cake and opened presents. Hubercito wasn't too into it but we didn't really expect him to be. I will post bday pics on here for all to see.
We went to the pediatrition for his 1 year checkup. He is now weighing 17lbs and 9oz which is only some oz up from last month but still on the uphill. And he is 28 inches long which is up from 26 and a half at 9 months! So I got me a tall skinny guy. They gave him a couple shots that he needed, checked his g-tube out. The granulation tissue keeps building and then I will apply a steroid creme which gets it back down for a day or two but it has been very hard to control so she put some silver nitrate on it and it seems to be staying down a lot better. It has been leaking more though so I am hoping we will be able to afford a trip up to Portland to get it checked out by the pros who put it in. That would make me rest a lil easier. Other then that he is a healthy happy lil guy!
I have been researching the different therapies available to him a lot more lately and and hoping that we will be able to get him involved in more outside of our lil town this year. I already called the CDRC and they are checking on getting a plan for him together and verifying his insurance. I am hoping to be able to drive up there (about 4-5 hrs north) atleast once, maybe twice a month for some therapy sessions. The 2 times we have gone before it just seems like we have gotten more accomplished there then anything going on for him in Early Intervention here. I also hope to talk to some speech therapists.
I have been pressured since his birth to take him to see a chiropractor, just for a consultation and after talking to some other moms of CP babies who take their children to chiropractors as well we are going to go in today to see what they can offer for him.
Well I think that gets us back up to speed on what has been happening in the life of Hubercito lol. I will get on some pics and video postings now!
