I am not sure if Mom's out there get to this page but if they do then I thought I would write a quick update to give some hope and perspective on how babies born so early can be.
We recently went for Miles 1 year/9m appointment. Is on track for all his adjusted age targets and his measurements are:
HC: 18.25inches - 75% for adjusted age
Weight: 18.2 lbs - 20% for adjusted age
Height: 26.25 inches - 2% for adjusted age
He has caught up a great deal although still a little disproportional but we have faith that this will even out over time. I don't think he is going to be 6'5 but oh well!
He made it through his first flu season without ED visits or hospitalization but LOTS of pediatrician appointments. My pediatrician is right down the road so I basically took him in anytime he had a slight cough sound. At one point he did have some bronchitis and we had to give him albuterol for 2 weeks or so but the Synargis shots did their job it seems.
He has been having PT 2X month and he is developmentally on track for his adjusted age, so that has seemed to help alot.
Most importantly he is the sweetest baby in the world. He sleeps well, eats well and has a very easy-going temperament. Big brother and Miles love each other and play together all the time.
All is well and I will post every once in a while to keep an update for those that find their way to this blog.
