Helena had her doctors appointment (Feb 24, 2011 / Nine month check-up). We got the results of her MRI. The doctor says that there are not signs of a stroke on her MRI so her left sided hemiplegia and speech delay is not the effects of a stroke in utero. For now we will continue with her habilitation and maybe get another MRI when she reaches a year to see if the brain growth on the left side is matching that of the right. Helena is delayed but coming along at her own pace!
Helena weighs 18 lbs 4 ounces is 28 inches long and her head is 44 cm. She is in the 31% for her age. She is a little one, but growing! She loves her baby rice and is starting to venture into other foods, but loves her bottle the best!
