Today Mason and I had to venture out in the snow to go to his Pulmonary follow-up appointment. Even though we left really early, we still managed to get stuck in a traffic back-up and were 30 minutes late to his appointment. Fortunately everyone else was late too and we were still able to get in right away.
Mason weighed in at 25 pounds, 1 ounce. He was up 5 ounces from his last appointment which is great. He is continuing to grow really well and his measurements were given to the nutritionist for follow-up. His weight, length and head circumference are around the 25-30th percentile on a standard scale (not correcting for his prematurity). This is great news!
His last chest x-ray looked good and the doc confirmed in the spring that we would most likely get rid of his Flovent to see how he does. They said he is on it now only as a precaution for the winter months in case he gets a respiratory virus. They will also do another PFT (lung function test) in the spring/summer to make sure he tolerated the change.
We couldn't be happier with the news and we will have a return vist sometime in April/May.
