One Month!

Where has this past month gone! I can't believe that Maggie Kate is one month old. We went for her check up last Thursday before we went to Midland for Weaver's B-day. She now weighs 8lbs 12 oz and is 21 1/2 inches long. She sleeps at least one 5-6 hour stretch each night and is a great eater, unlike her brother. She is starting to smile and bats at her toys on her bouncy seat. She is also getting really good at holding her head up.
This weekend we received the results from her newborn screening test and got some concerning results. Here thyroid levels were abnormal so we are doing another round of blood work to see if she has congenital hypothyroid (CH) disease. Please keep her in your prayers as we wait for the test results. CH used to be a major cause for mental retardation but now they know about it and can treat it. If she does have have CH she will have to be on medication for the rest of her life but as long as she is on medication she will have a normal life. Our prayer is that God heals her once again and the results come back normal as they did with her heart defect. We should know something next week. Thanks for your prayers!
