Harrison 2 Months

I took Harris for his 2 month well check last week and the poor little guy has more problems.  At 6 weeks old I took him for an ultrasound to check his hydronephrosis that was found in vitro in my ultrasound at 22 weeks.  They found that he still had 2+ hydronephrosis in his left kidney.  So basically it means that he has a blockage in his left ureter (the tube that connects the kidneys to the bladder) that is causing fluid to back up in his kidney.  His pediatrician referred him to a urologist up at primary children's hospital so we're going in August to do another ultrasound and then see the doctor.  Most of the time kids just grow out of hydronephrosis but sometimes they have to do surgery to fix it.  It's only a 2 and the scale goes up to 4 so it isn't horrible so hopefully he'll just grow out of it.  We just have to watch for UTI's.  

At his 2 month appointment he hadn't gained very much weight.  He only weighted 10 pounds 12 oz and dropped from the 35 percentile at 2 weeks to 5th percentile at 2 months.  His head size also significantly dropped from the 30th to the 15th.  He was 24 inches and was still in the 53 percentile for height.  The doctor was a little worried that his head size dropped.  He said it was weird though because if it were he's just skinny because of genetics his head wouldn't have dropped.  But if it was caused by him not getting enough calories usually weight is effected first then height then head size last.  It's just weird that his head and weight dropped but not his height.  The doctor told me to try supplementing with formula and I'm taking back next week for a height, weight, and head check so hopefully he's grown a little.  

Other than all of his little health problems he's doing well.  The doctor said he's right on developmentally.  He's starting to get better coordination with his hands.   He loves to suck on his hand and loves toys now.  He really likes to lay on his play mat and swat at his toys.  He's really starting to be happy and smile and talk.  He still doesn't nap a lot during the day and doesn't sleep great at night he always wants to be held when he sleeps.  He;s a little cutie.
