Ellie went for her doctor's appointment with the pulmonary specialist today. We also had a chest x-ray. We were hoping this was the last time we had to see the doctor, but unfortunately she still has 'streaks' showing up in her lungs. The doctor didn't want her exposed to any more radiation so soon, so we are going to wait before we have a CAT scan. He says he is more inclined to think she caught a viral infection at the hospital at birth and it is just taking a long time to clear itself. However, if we go back in June and the next chest x-ray still shows 'streaks' she will have to be put under for the CAT scan to make sure she doesn't have a lung disease.
At the appointment today we found out she is now 11 lbs and 14 oz and almost 24" long. She's grown so much in just 2 weeks!
Here are some pictures for your enjoyment.
