Thursday was another clinic day. Grandma Blueberry came with us. Brooke's hemoglobin was 12.4. It stayed up another week! We weren't able to decrease the steroids but we are able to start doing chemo every other week. Hopefully that will be easier on her tummy and make her feel a little better. The Dr. feels the IVIG is helping to keep her hemoglobin up. So she will get that again next week. It's a 7-8 hour transfusion but worth it. They can only give it every 21 days.
Today the girls had their 4 month physicals. Brooke is 10#, 21 1/2" long. Macy is 15# 6oz and 25 1/2" long. A slight difference :) They are both hitting all their milestones, with the exception of Brooke and eating. The doctor increased her formula again so it's higher calorie. Even though she is not on the growth chart her height and weight are consistent with each other. She is just our little peanut. We also found out she had a really bad ear infection. We aren't sure if she had any symptoms because she always has some fussiness and doesn't eat well. So hopefully that will clear up soon with antibiotics. Thanks for another week of prayers. We realize daily how blessed we are and treasure all our time with all 5 girls.
