And our hearts grow fonder!? Addison went to the pediatrician Monday when we got back from our cruise and her weekend at Grandaddy and Mimi's. Her counts were pretty good as Charles posted previously. My parents attribute it to the large amounts of cupcakes Addison ate...who knows! I will get excited about these numbers once I see them remain higher a few weeks in a row. We all know CBCs are a roller coaster from hell.
Again her counts were as follows:
WBC 4.2
neutraphil 1.6 (at lowest range of normal..these fight infections)
HGB 10.5 (been 3+ months these have been stable)
platelets 27 (YUCK!)
The cruise was wonderful! We really enjoyed the "us" time and I think I did pretty well for my first time away from Addison. I did call Mimi everyday to put my mind at ease...can't wait to get this months cell phone bill but totally worth every penny! Besides the Gator's pitiful excuse for a game the cruise was so much fun. We did pretty good in the casino and relaxed by the pool (well I relaxed and Charles went down the slide...over and over and over again!). I came in 2nd place for the Black Jack tournament and Charles made some money on the Craps table.
Since we have not been getting good news recently from doctors about Addison I have to brag about the first good news we have received! So sue me I am a proud parent! Addison's pediatrician said she is more at a 2+year old developmentally since she can say her ABC's, count to 10 and place 2-3 words together to try and form a complete thought! We are so very proud of her. Guess this house arrest thing has paid off on some levels. She went from the 56% percentile in weight to the 90th at 28 pounds (think the cupcakes played a part in this) and from 96% to 93rd% in height at 33.5 inches tall! She is definitely NOT petite!

You two look great--well rested and happy! As for Addy, an extra cupcake or two (or three) won't hurt her a bit. Love, Aunt Martha
