Yay, I'm 69 weeks old today!
Masinja had a pretty eventful week. He had his first dentist appointment on Monday. The dentist counted his teeth (he has two on the bottom and four on the top) and brushed them. His teeth are very yellow right now. The dentist said that because he was so premature, and jaundiced for so long, that the coloring was actually inside the teeth. She said that his baby teeth may be the only ones that were affected, but we won't know until he gets his permanent ones. He also got a flouride treatment and a toothbrush to take home.
Masinja also went to the opthamologist this week. The doctor tested his vision with a series of cards that had black and white stripes on them. The stripes got smaller and smaller with each consecutive card. Masinja did a really good job tracking the stripes. The doctor said that he was on track for normal vision. He also said that we didn't have to fight the battle with his glasses any more. He speculated that Masinja's opthamologist in Shreveport prescribed the glasses, because he has the potential for a lazy eye in the future. He said it wasn't necessary for him to wear the glasses now, since he knows that Masinja is more interested in eating them than wearing them!
That's all for now.
Peace,
T.M.M.
