Leah is 7 months old today. 

There is great improvement in her hands.  The therapy and splints seem to be working very well.  She is using her left thumb to grasp things and I’ve seen her move her right thumb up and down, but she still can’t move it out.  Improvement on her foot is unknown at this time.  Her next visit with the orthopedic doctor isn’t until May 3.

Weight 13 lbs. 13 oz.  She gained a little over a pound in 2-1/2 weeks, which is a great improvement

She was examined by a Pediatric ENT specialist and he has recommended that she have tubes put in her ears as soon as possible.  She has had an ear infection for approximately 4 weeks.  The ENT would like to do the tube surgery at the same time as the foot surgery, which is scheduled for 6/22.  We are waiting for approval from the orthopedic surgeon, and if that happens, her surgery will be rescheduled for July.
