Gabriel had his 5 month check up and boy has he gotten big. He is 19.5" long, 7lbs 14 oz, and his head is 14.5' around. He is below the 5th percentile, but that is because he was born early and they use his chronological age. He also got his immunizations, he did not like them at all, and he had a fever for the day. My poor little baby.I was happy to be able to have him with me for my birthday. Grandma Angel came over and babysat so Manuel could take me to dinner. Gabriel is starting to raise his arms when you look at him, letting you know he wants to be picked up. When I say "kisses" to him he will turn his head and open his mouth. He has changed so much, it amazes me every time I look at him.
He had another follow up with Dr. Cleland, his opthamologist, and he is admitted him back into the NICU on Friday for surgery. His left eye needs to have laser surgery because he has some abnormal blood vessels and they are starting to pull. He wants to get this fixed so that the retina does not detach. The surgery will be Friday at one o'clock and he will be admitted around nine or ten in the morning. I will let everyone know how it goes and how he is doing. It is not a complex procedure so everything should be just fine.
