Appointment

Brooke had a great 1-year appointment yesterday.

She is weighing 22 lbs and is 29.75 inches tall! That means she weighs more than 70% of 1 year old girls and is taller than 75% of one year old girls. And her head is bigger than 80% of 1 year old girls. Haha, she's big, but proportionate!

She can now eat whatever we eat. She got 2 shots and a blood test, which she wasn't happy about.

I spoke with Dr. Castro about taking Brooke to see her godmother, Jacqui. Jacqui is going into the hospital this Thursday, the 29th, and will be having her bone marrow transplant on Aug. 5th. I was thinking of taking Brooke to see her on Friday while we're in Pittsburgh. Dr. Castro said it would be fine for Brooke, but Jacqui's drs will probably have rules about visitors and especially children - but Dr. Castro thinks that, at the very least, Jacqui's room may have windows looking into the hall so that she would at least be able to see Brooke through the big window. I feel better about my decision to take a one-year-old into the hospital to visit after speaking with Dr. Castro about it :-)
