Maia has been home for almost three weeks now and life has resumed it's new normal here at the Moss home. We had our first big checkup at the International Adoption Clinic today so we have some updated stats for you all in addition to some new milestones!
Right now Maia weighs 30 lbs 10 oz and is 3'2" tall. Not much gain at all yet considering how much better her diet is. This actually could be because it appears she may have some sort of thyroid issue. They ran blood work to check, but her thyroid was a bit enlarged according to the pediatrician. We should know more in a few days. Her spine is also curved so we will be seeing an orthopedic at some point in addition to a hematologist for her anemia.
Maia's official diagnoses after the visit today are: global developmental delay, microcephaly (this was new to us), and diffuse hypotonia.
As far as her milestones go, Maia Faith will now support all of her weight on her legs for up to a few minutes at a time (with us helping her stay balanced). She even takes steps with us supporting her! She drinks from a sippy cup and is starting to eat more chunky foods. She seems to be connecting with Craig and I even more and turns to us instead of other people for the most part. We have been so blessed to see this little girl blossom right before our eyes. We are also very blessed that nothing life threatening was found today!! Praise God for His protection over our girl.
We will begin OT, PT, and ST soon. Can't wait to see how she changes with therapy!
Thank you so much for the photo card, Amy! She is such a lovely girl and you are doing such a wonderful job with her!
