Emily had her 6 month check up yesterday! She is 17 lbs 1 oz and 26 inches long! She also got 3 shots but she was a trooper! We now have until her next appointment to get her physical developments back on track, otherwise she will be referred to an Occupational Therapist. She has been behind since the beginning with holding her head up and grabbing for objects.
I was so sure she would need to start therapy this month, but the doctor said she saw enough of an improvement that we didn't need to worry yet. She isn't rolling over yet and that wouldn't be too big of a deal if she were at least trying...but she isn't. She is grabbing for objects, but is not transferring that object from one hand to the next which she should be doing. Again, doctor said no need to worry since she is making progress (just slowly).
So now is when I ask that you keep Emily in your prayers! The doctor said that the reason for the delay could be tied to a possible clavical (spelling?) fracture upon birth, but the xrays taken were unclear and she didn't want to have Emily take them again! If you could pray for her development: rolling over, sitting up on her own, grabbing and transferring objects, etc. We would appreciate it!

I didn't know about this! When is her next appointment? I'll have her in my prayers.
Hey you! Of course we will keep you and Emily and the the rest of the Williams family in our thoughts. I am here for you no matter what. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.
