Doctors visit 10lbs 3.4 ounces

Well on Friday April 7th, 2006 we had a doctors visit to receive our last Synagis shot. I am sure the insurance companies are happy the shot cost $1800.00 and that was the last one Zach will ever need. Synagis® is a prescription medication that can help to prevent serious respiratory illness in babies and young children at high risk for severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease. Respiratory syncytial virus (sin-SISH-shul VI-rus) (RSV) is a very common virus. RSV causes mild cold-like symptoms in adults and children. But premature babies or those with lung or heart problems have a high risk of getting very sick if they catch RSV. This is because premature babies do not have fully developed lungs. Also, because they were born early, they may not have received virus-fighting substances (called antibodies) from their mothers that help them fight off RSV and other viruses. Each year, 125,000 infants in the United States are hospitalized with severe RSV infections, the leading cause of infant hospitalization. Severe RSV infections cause up to 500 childhood deaths annually. RSV may also be associated with more long-term health problems, such as asthma. RSV season usually starts in the fall and runs through the spring. Due to this I had limited visits and would like to thank those friends and family who could not visit and tell them I really appreciate your understanding. Zach looked really good and the doctor was impressed with his muscle tone. He almost got up on all fours, the doctor said WOW !!!!! We have set a appointment with the eye doctor for the near future as well as having his occupational thypist coming to the house next week. Thank You to everyone who has past thru our blog and left comments, you may not know it but they sure do brighten our day!!!!!
