Jackson went back to therapy on Wednesday after taking a two week break. It was not pretty. He pretty much screamed and cried the whole time. They were doing check-offs on Wednesday too, so he didn't earn many checks. Kelly and other PT were concerned that Jackson might have an ear infection or some kind of reflex since he screamed every time he was on his tummy. Since he had to go for his flu booster shot anyway, I made an appointment to see Dr. Hart.
We went to the doctor on Thursday. Jackson was in a pretty good mood. He weighed in at 21 lbs and 6 oz (with clothes and shoes). He was even smiling at Dr. Hart. However, when he got his ears cleaned out, he screamed! The good news is that he does not have an ear infection or reflux. However, we are going to see an ophthalmologist in Greenville to make sure that he does not have any issues with his eyes. Babies with torticollis sometimes have trouble focusing and that makes the torticollis more pronounced. Dr. Hart does not think that is the case, but he just wants to rule it out. We have that appointment at the end of the month.
Even though Jackson has refused to roll for Ms. Kelly, he was rolling for Noni on Friday. He is going from his stomach to his back on his own. He still needs help getting from his back to his stomach. That is major progress!
The Ivey kids came over Friday to open their Christmas presents. Jackson was a little upset that he did not have anything to open! Then we all went to eat at Cracker Barrel. This was Jackson's first trip there, and it was his first time sitting in a high chair! He loved it! He thought he was such a big shot banging on the table!
