The Sheridan Gang: Update on the kids!!

I said I would post last week after our Akron appointments. I forgot to do it and then got busy. The kids are both sick. If they are not better by tomorrow we might be making a trip to the doctor. The appts on Thursday went really good. Scott gets the idea of having two 2 1/2 year olds at the hospital for about 6 hours. I think he was more tired then the kids. He is an awesome daddy and does his share of stuff around here with the kids but he is just now getting the idea of all the Dr's appointments. The appointments in them selfs can be very stressful and then trying to keep the babies happy is a different stress. He doesn't get to go to many of them because of work but he is going to a few of them. Preston first had a swallow study to see if he still needed his drinks thickened, we haven't been doing it for a couple of months but needed to make sure he didn't need it anymore. He passed and we are good to go now. Then we ate lunch in the cafeteria and went to the other appointments. Madison saw Preston's one doctor for the first time to see if she might have cerebral palsy also. The doctor looked over her NICU records and was shocked on how well Madison is doing. She is watching her and we are increasing her therapy to help her along some. She might have some cerebral palsy but they are not sure that is what it is right now. She is giving us a few concerns so we are going to watch her for the next couple of months and go from there. Madison also weighed in at 23 pounds she is getting big. Preston is weighing in at 26 pounds of course they are sick now and Madison has probably lost weight. Preston is going to have to go through another round of Botox in his legs. I am still waiting on details on that and when it is going to be done. We are afraid that his tightness in his legs is keeping him from doing more. He is doing awesome and we are amazed by him everyday but he isn't doing anything new lately and that has us concerned. At times when you watch him move it is almost like he doesn't know that he has legs at all. So we are hoping that with the Botox that he will be able to move more. We are worried that it hurt him and make him not do as much but it is a chance we have to take right now. We won't know unless we do it. Botox doesn't last long and this might be something he will have to get more often. He had a round of it in January so for us to last until now is good. Here is a couple pictures
