Tilly's well check up, age 4.

Tuesday of this week, Tilly had her well check up with Dr. B. and Nurse V.  We are happy and thankful to report that she is a growing and very healthy girlie.  
Here are Tilly's stats for age 4:  Blood pressure, 92/60; Pulse, 119; Weight, 38.6 (74%); Height 3'5' (76%); BMI 16.06 kg/m2.  
Little bit tagged along with us to the doc, mostly for the sucker, but she sure had a good time playing with the blood pressure cuff.  
We are so thankful Tilly is in good health.  After her sweet friend, Ella, lost her baby brother last week, it just makes me all the more thankful for a healthy heartbeat!  On another note, many of you have been praying for Tilly's eyes, so I wanted to give you an update on that as well.  David took her last week while Story and I were in GA to see how much progress was being made with the patches.  Tilly has been wearing the patch 6+ hours a day for the last two months, so we were anxious to hear if there had been any progress.  Dr. K was so surprised to see how MUCH progress had been made!  She said we still have a very long way to go, but the weak eye has greatly improved!  Great news!  Tilly will now wear the patch 4 hours a day until her next visit.  We had the option to use drops to make the good eye blurry, but there were some not so nice side effects, and Tilly has truly done a remarkable job at wearing her patch that we decided just to keep on keeping on!
