Adoption Clinic Check-up

Yesterday Zoey had her 6 month follow up at the adoption clinic at Children's South. It was supposed to be in August but I had to reschedule. Everything went great. She is still 28 pounds and was I think 31 inches tall. She is right on target for all of her developmental milestones and even a little ahead on some. The main thing they want us to work on with her now is her speech. She is a little behind there, although her comprehension is excellent. We now just have to work on getting her to say more words. They gave us some good ideas to start trying including some signing with her. We then met with the pediatrician who looked her over and probed her ears and all that good stuff that makes baby's scream! We have been concerned since she had pneumonia that she might be asthmatic (sp?) and the pediatrician agreed with us from the symptoms we talked about with her. She gave us the name of a specialist to call so we could find out for sure. She coughs alot, mainly at night, which we figured at first was her teething. Then when she ended up with pneumonia we thought, well this might not be just teething. Even sometimes on the weekends I have been able to feel her wheezing. The pediatrician told us that it was fine to use her inhaler at night before bed to help with her coughing and any other time we felt she was having trouble. That made me feel better, I have used it a few times, but was scared her body would become dependent on it, which she said was not the case. We go back in April for her one year evaluation. So to sum it up everything went very well and Zoey has not skipped a beat in her development. It is just so amazing what love has done for this little angel, she keeps us falling in love with her more and more everyday. What a blessing from God to have two beautiful, amazing, loveable, healthy, happy girls!
