We went in to visit a pulmonologist at Children's back in February since our new insurance company denied RSV shots after the first of the year. We got all our documentation laid out and the insurance company decided he was elligible, score one for our team! I highly recommend appealing a decision if you don't believe it's the right call, we've only had to appeal two things but both we eventually won with persistance and documentation. Of course, we missed one month of the shots while I was arguing with the insurance company, but luckily Jonah didn't get sick. We've been really lucky this winter, two colds and an ear infection and that was it. Praise God!
Jonah had his one year checkup and since RSV season seems to be over he had a completely normal little boy schedule of shots. Four shots along with all the regular measurements, etc. He's gaining nicely on the growth chart, up to 42% for weight and 73% for length, and that's based on his actual age, his adjusted age will look even better!
We'll go in for another developmental assessment at Children's in June to measure his one year skills by occupational, physical and speech therapy. We'll also get another surgical follow up to see how his diaphram and lungs look. Wish us luck! Until then, I'll share some of Jonah's one year photos taken by the very talented Heather Beach Photography.
Can you see his abdominal scar? Yeah, barely!
