I wanted to make this update yesterday but we were very busy with two appointments one that lasted 3 hours :( Well we started the morning with physical therapy. Jackson has some tight muscles in the left side of his next which is causing him to tip his head to the side. We also learned that he has low muscle tone in his limbs and that is why he doesn't put weight on his legs. It is not that he can't it is just that it is harder to do so he only does it when he gets mad. She gave us some stretches we have to do and she will be back every week to work with him.
Then after that we headed off on our hour ride to Portland with a very upset little man since he couldn't eat for 4 hours so that he would sleep during his hearing test. After a bottle, burping, snooping and some fighting and 1.5 hours later he finally fell asleep. He did an awesome job. He passed with flying colors on his right ear but he still is showing some hearing loss in his left ear. She said that the movement on the left ear drum isn't what they would like to see at his age so they think he many just have a blockage. We have to go back in October and do some more tests to see if it is a blockage or if it has to do with the nerve.
Tomorrow we will have his 3 month appointment. With all these doctors appointment and other summer obligations it has been so difficult to keep up with pumping and he is now eating way more then I can pump :( It make me sad that I am not able to supply all he can eat and that we have had to start supplementing with formula. It is just so much harder then just breast feeding. Especially with a little 3 year old running around. It seems like every time I start pumping some one needs something and all of you moms out there know that if you are not relaxed it make pumping so much harder. As of right now I am still pumping when I can and he is getting about half formula and half breast milk at each feeding.
While we were at that long appointment my mother took Grayson to see his first movie in a movie theater. He loved it except for the face dive into the door. He is such a clumsy little man. After falling off the slide this weekend, falling into a door and then falling into a chair when we were out to eat yesterday I am hoping that he takes a little bit of a break from accidents. His poor little head can't take much more ;)
Today I am going to try and do Jackson's 3 month photo shoot :)
