Medical Updates

1. We just saw Kristin's doctor - 28 weeks and 4 days - due Nov. 5. The little guy is healthy and growing, measuring ahead of schedule. Strong heartbeat, good position. Likely C-section date will be Tuesday, Nov. 3, unless she goes into labor early.
2. I got out of my cast a week ago and everything feels much better. I've started PT, basically doing flexibility and strength exercises all the time. I started at -30 degree range of motion - basically a toe point position (I've been compared to a ballerina), moved thru -20 and now am around -10 degrees (approaching vertical). I should be walking normally in another week or two, and get the boot off another week or two after that.
3. All three boys are healthy and doing well. Seth got a strange rash two weeks ago that turned out being "5th Disease" or slapped cheek syndrome (because it looks just like you've been slapping your kid on the cheek). It didn't bother him, or the other two boys who got it during family camp. But it caused a little scare for us since it is dangerous for a pregnant woman to be exposed to this virus if she has not had the disease herself in the past. Thankfully, Kristin had it in the past and so is immune.
4. Bella is fine too. And she is much more active when her puppy cousin Donde comes to chase her constantly, nip at her heels and try to grab and hold onto her collar - constantly.
