Gotta love Katie's Pediatrician
So, this previous Friday we took Katie to a follow-up to see the Air Force pediatrician, Dr. Slojic, whom we REALLY like! It was hilarious because the nurse was trying to decide who she looked like most (she didn't know we had adopted her). This was hilarious and it is awesome (not that we ever plan on keeping her history from her as being adopted is something to be proud of). I still often think about the little ones in her class and pray every day that they will, too, get a forever family like our Katie did.
So, she gained 1/2 a pound in a week and still ranks on the 4th percentile. The studies on her stool came back normal, but they are waiting on the parasite test to come back and we should know about that one on Monday. Our pediatrician is VERY thorough and has put in referrals for her to be evaluated by Speech Pathology, Occupational Therapy, Audiology, Optometry and to see the pediatrician at the International Adoption Center in Cincinnati. We are doing this on Monday. We thank everyone who prayed for her and us while we were in Russia. We loved being in her home country, but it feels like we are a REAL family since we're all home together!!!
Aaron's dad and stepmother are coming up here soon....the second weekend of April. We have friends coming with their two little ones the 1st weekend of April and then Aaron's mom is coming up for a visit in April, so it will be a busy month before we move to Baltimore in late May or early June.
We will know more about Katie's milestones after Monday's visit with the IAC doc, Dr. Staat.
