Day 7
Jack & Izzie riding in the car together for the first time.
Izzie is the 2nd patient ever at the brand spanking new down syndrome clinic at UMass. It was their first day ever open. Wow. We found out she definitively does not have a clubbed foot. She just holds it weird. We need to stretch it out every day but d not need to cast it every week nor need braces. THANK GOD!
And this is her at her 1st ever doctor appointment. She is back up to her birth weight. And her ear canals are big enough that the dr could see her eardrums. Lots of kids with down syndrome have hearing issues because their canals are too small. Her dr said she's very active - more active than most newborns. There is still a grade 2 bleed in her brain but it should go away soon.
On a wicked annoying note - my csection wound half opened yesterday at the hospital because one of the stitches was stuck. So now every day for the next 6 weeks a visiting nurse has to come pack the wound. It's 9cm long and 4cm deep. GROSS. Scott has to learn how to do it so they can stop coming. UGH.
