Doctor Appointments

This has been the week of doctor appointments for this cute girl.  Don't worry she has passed all of them with FLYING colors!  Monday we had our yearly checkup and a meeting with the genetics specialist.  I will admit that I definitely have to have my heart ready to walk into appointments, but I felt a lot of peace about these.  They checked her blood iron levels and everything was perfect!  Halle weighs a whole 14 lbs and 11 oz!  Her growth curve looks absolutely perfect and she has been consistently in the 1%.  She's off of bottles and formula and has been moved to Pediasure (to bulk her up) and sippy cups!  We think she is absolutely perfect!
Genetics was our second appointment of the day.  We met with the actual specialist this time and he sat down and talked to us about Halle for 1.5 hours.  He soon realized that we had done the specific blood test on Halle and determined that Halle's micro deletion was significantly less than the average Williams Syndrome patient.  He then agreed to go through the list of genes and help us determine areas that could be strengths and/or weaknesses since her deletion is so slight.  We felt so encouraged that God is giving us the practical places to pray into over the next season for sweet Halle.  
Then to top it off...Halle said, "Hi DaDa!" to Brian as we were walking into Children's.  I honestly thought he was going to cry...it's amazing what 2 sweet words can do to your heart.  By the end of the day she could have had anything she wanted from him:-)
