Good News from the NICU followup

Lucian went to a followup appointment last week to evaluate how he is progressing from him very early start. The hospital system he was born in follows EVERY child who is born before 32 weeks! They see them until they are 2 years old and longer if there is any long term problems.

Anyway - he now weighs 16lbs 9.5oz and is almost 27inches long. For his adjusted age (almost 6 months) he is 50%ile for weight, 75%ile for height and over 97%ile for head circumfrence!!

They are incredibly happy with him. He is playing like an 8 and a half month old (remember they are evaluating him as an almost 6 month old) and his speech and physical is that of around 6 and a half months.

We are so proud of our little man.
