Doctor update on "Little Man" and "Mr. Pudge"

Who are you calling Mr. Pudge?

Our Little Man - I love this outfit - it says it all

Josiah

• gained a little weight


• still has bad ear infection (could be reason for some of his crying and flailing)
  
• his first 2 bottom teeth are so close to breaking through

Jeremiah

• gained 1.3 lbs in 1 week!


• 1 ear doesn't look good


• skin looks worse - she is not sure what all of the spots, pimples and sores are, but thinks he is still contagious with at least chicken pox that are still coming out. Because of this, we are home bound 1 more week. I need to do a second scabies treatment to be safe because his scratching is much worse.

Next step is to do a couple of different blood draws and several stool samples. The doctor has also ordered a bone scan on Josiah to check for rickets and any other affects due to his malnourishment. She is also hoping that this scan will help us figure out his age better. On various orphanage medical paperwork the different doctors estimated him to be 9 months - 12 months in July which would put him at 14-17 months now, but for some reason they assigned him a birth date of March 16, making him 20 months.
