Ezra had his normal 4 month check up this week. technically he had it when being almost 5 months, but close enough. He is 12 lbs 6 oz. 24 in tall. He is growing so well, even though he is still small.
I had the camera on him for a few minutes trying to get a smile, a tongue sticking out, a really adorable frown, just something! But nope, Ezra just was so content.
Last week we went down to Grand Rapids to follow up with his Urologist. We woke up bright and early to make our 9 am appointment. He had an ultrasound to make sure his bladder and kidneys are still health, and they are. Since Ezra can’t feel what is going on with his bladder and whether or not he needs to pee we need to continue to monitor everything to make sure it is emptying and working. Once his bladder is full the pee just leaks out, which is fine for a baby but as he gets older there are options we will look at to help him not need to be in diapers. But for now he gets to be a baby.
Later the family spent the day around Grand Rapids and we met some other Spina Bifida parents for lunch. It was nice to chat and catch up. We are blessed to have other parents to talk and relate too.
