2 Month Check-Up

Jackson had his 2 month check-up today.  The poor thing had to have 3 shots and an oral medication.  He did really well.  He only screamed when he got poked, and then he was fine.

Weight: 13 lbs 11 oz  90th percentile
Height: 22 3/4 in  50th percentile
Head: 41.5 cm 86th percentile

Even though we have spent a lot of time on our right side, Jackson's flat spot has progressed and the muscles on the left side of his neck are not as strong. Having the flat spot is known as Plagiocephalic, and the weak neck muscle is known as Congential Torticollis. For the next two months, Jackson is going to have to go to physical therapy to try to fix these two conditions. The good news is that both of these can be fixed, but if it progresses further, we might be looking at a helmet. Apparently, this has become a common condition in newborns because they now sleep on their backs. Please pray that the physical therapy will work, and that the helmet will not be needed.
