18 Month Updates

On Friday we went to the doctor for his 18 month check up.  Caleb is 34 1/4 inches tall (95%) and 27 pounds 11 ounces (75 %). Since his last appointment 3 months ago grew 2 inches and gained 2 pounds. He's a growing boy!! He did great with his one shot but it did give him a fever and fussiness for a few days.  This is the first noticable side effect we have seen.  Thankfully he won't have any more shots for at least a year and a half!!!!

Thank you to all of you who continually ask about Caleb's kidneys. We just recently went to see the urologist (6 months since his last procedure). Both kidneys are still enlarged (right kidney is 10 cm and the left one is 8 cm). The urologist didn't seemed too worried since they have been through so much the last year of his life. It sounds like his body will eventually grow into his kidneys. We will go back in 6 months for another round of tests (Caleb will have to go under anesthesia in order to run these tests.) In the meantime, we continue to give him antibotics to reduce infection and a laxative to keep things flowing down there. Thanks for all your continued prayers and support.
