Claire had her 4-month well check this week. She's 12 lbs. 8 oz. (8th percentile) and 23 3/4 inches (10th percentile) now. She's on target with milestones and all that jazz. She got two shots. She's doing great. We got the okay to start baby cereal and then work our way into veggies and fruits. Next well check is at six months.
Her pediatrician got a report from the G.I.'s office earlier this week. They summarized most of what I already knew but also told him what they think is going on with her liver enzymes. They do think her bilirubin levels were caused by ABO Incompatibility and they think that ABO Incompatibility caused some damage to her liver. This is what would be causing the enzymes to be elevated. They say this will correct itself over time. How much time, they do not know. And then they said that if they're wrong, they'll have to consult other pediatric liver specialists.
Claire's overdue for another blood draw. She has to be healthy when she gets it though and had a cold for a while. She's healthy now so I am just waiting for a call back from the lab to see when Kathy's available to draw her (hoping for today or tomorrow).

And she's taking big-girl baths now. :)

Thank you for all the updates on Claire, Josh's trip to Lansing, and your job search. I know what you mean about patience because I always want things done yesterday also. But we are praying for you and hoping that things work out well--our family has had enough bad stuff to deal with this year!
Love,
Mimi
