Cooper had his 4 month check on Monday. He weighed 11lbs 8oz and was 25 1/2in long. He is now in the 3% for weight and the 75% for height. Since there was no drop off in either area, he is no longer considered failure to thrive. His ear is getting better, but is still bothering him some. Dr. Mike also evaluated his development. He said that he was actually doing pretty well. He said his tone is a little low and his head is still quite wobbly so he gave me the script for the pt. He said that he has a few red flags for Cerebral Palsy, but would not diagnose him at this time. He said we would reevaluate in a couple of months and consider an MRI if needed at that time. The social worker with ECI comes in the morning. Cooper probably won't qualify for therapy now that he is no longer ftt, but they will still do the eval and can give me some exercises so I can work with him. It may sound strange to say, but I hope he does qualify so he can get the help and catch up and get back on track. Of course I don't want anything to be wrong with Cooper, but I don't want to delay intervention or treatment if it is needed. I guess will just have to see.

oh molly beth, this is all so scary for you. i'm sorry you're going through this man. i'm glad to hear that the doc isn't concerned enough to do a cp test yet. that's good i think. also, wanted you to know that ALL four grandkids on this side have been in the 5th or under percentile for weight their whole lives! we just have little babies. aislyn was 5th for height and weight and gray is like 25th or 50th for height and 5th for weight, though i think he's catching up. brai and mali were 5th or less for both for a long time. anyways, for what its worth... keep us posted as to the therapy stuff.
