Re: Mykayla in Buffalo NY - Crystal

[Guest guest]

Hi Crystal,

My g-son fit in most of his preemie clothes until he was between

9-12 months old. At a year and a half, he was in 6-9 months but they were

kind of big, and this winter, at 2 years of age, he has been wearing mostly

12 months size clothes. At 28 months, he is still wearing Infant Size 2 in

shoes, and his hands are smaller than my girlfriend's 10-month old.

It sounds like Mykayla is gaining weight well. I would watch for things like

hypoglycemia, and reflux. Those problems were missed by our local drs for

. Like all kids, RSS kids grow and gain at different rates. There is

also a lot of variety in the types, and intensity of their problems.

, for instance, has a lot of GI, and lung, complications where

another child might have more ear infections, or asymmetry problems.

Unfortunately, I don't live near Buffalo. I live on the north coast of Ohio,

but feel free to keep asking questions. The people here are wonderful, and

although it may take us some time to answer, you will almost always find

someone that has run into your problem at one time or another.

There is also a bunch of us IMing on Yahoo. My Yahoo ID is grandmax2ab. Feel

free to come and chat.
