Our agency forwarded an update on "Sweeti" from her baby home.
She now weighs 15.6 lbs and is 25.6 inches. This shows some good growth for our tiny girl! She has 4 upper teeth and 2 bottom ones.
They report that her feet point in opposite directions when she stands. We had not heard this before surgery, although orthopedic issues are definitely not foreign to Spina Bifida. We are consulting the International Adoption Clinic at the U of M again to see what they say about this. Her wound from surgery has healed on the inside, but has not on the outside although the stitches have been removed. They are watching this to see if intervention is needed.
Also reported:
"Milestone Development-
"Sweeti" is a sweet child. She laughs when she is played with. After her discharge from the hospital, she always cried to be carried as she had got used to it in the hospital.
"Sweeti" is able to sit by herself.
She is able to bring herself to stand on her own by holding on to some furniture. She tries to walk with support. Otherwise she crawls when she needs to move around.
She climbs onto the mattress that is placed on the floor.
"Sweeti" watches the children around her in the room.
She keeps herself occupied with toys. Sometimes she tries to get another child’s toy. When some other child takes her toy away, she cries.
"Sweeti" vocalizes when played with. She points to things.
"Sweeti" is quite an active child and seems to have recovered well from her surgery."
