The first appointment today was with Dr. A, Max' GI physician. The follow up for the G-button surgery went well. Everything looks good from a GI perspective. Max' weight and head size are progressing normally.
The second appointment wasn't as easy. Max got the first in a series of injections to prevent RSV, a rather nasty lung infection that can be quite serious for infants with pre-existing pulmonary issues. Because of the expense (>$2000 per injection), the series of shots must be approved by insurance first, and is only approved for those babies at high risk. This shot must also be given in deep muscle tissue in the thigh; another unpleasant procedure for both Max and parents.
