Yea, I'm 43 weeks old!
This week Masinja got his bloodwork for his phenobarb levels. His levels were low, so the doc upped his dose to 5ccs from 3ccs a day.
His physical therapy is also going really well. He's getting really close to graduating from the program. We'll know more in a couple of weeks.
That's all for now.
Peace,
T.M.

Weekly Update -- 29 October - 4 November 2007
Yea, I'm 42 weeks old!
This week we made the long drive back home. Masinja got pretty cranky near the end, but so did we. We were a cranky trio.
We celebrated Halloween this week. We went to trunk or trick at church, and Masinja got dressed up in his angry penguin costume again.
He had an appointment with the neurologist this week, but it got cancelled because she couldn't make it there. We'll be taking him in for bloodwork to make sure his phenobarb levels are ok. More to follow.
We also to Masinja in to get weighed for his RSV shot. He's 17lbs! What a porker. We should be getting the shot in the next couple of weeks. He'll get it monthly through March 2008.
That's all for this week.

This week was pretty fun. Masinja had a baby shower with the NY'ers, and there was a very good turnout. He was very happy to see his relatives, and was all smiles most of this week. He got to visit with Uncle Seaninja and Aunt Picklinja, great grandma, and other assorted cool people.
Heres a pic.

Yea, I'm 40 weeks old!
This week Masinja went on vacation. It was a pretty long ride, but we stopped in Ohio to visit his uncle Garinja, and cousins Taylinja and Jordinja. They spent some quality time together, and then we drove onto NY.
Here's a couple of pics from this week:

Weekly Update -- 7 - 14 October 2007
Yea, I'm 39 weeks old!
Masinja went to the neurosurgeon this week. The doc said he looked fine, but wanted to get another CAT scan in December to make sure everything still looks ok.
We had another first this week: Squash! He had the look of fun on that first bite, but he settled in after he realized it tasted better than the formula he's been eating.
Finally, Masinja attempted more disguise training. He fell asleep with the burp cloth in his hands and woke up with it on his head. Don't ask me how he did it, because I was so in awe that I had to take pictures. At least he improved on his camoflauge fiasco from last week.

Weekly Update -- 30 September - 6 October 2007
Yea, I'm 38 weeks old!
This week Masinja had some good training. First, he practiced camoflauging himself against different plaid formations. He was too happy for his training, so he failed miserably. Bad ninja. (see fig 1a.)
Next, Masinja practiced the art of disguise when he jumped into the role of an evil penguin. At first it took him some time to get into character. (see fig 2a.) But, just when we least expected it, he morphed into a happy penguin, ready to strike at a moment's notice. (see fig 2b.)

Weekly Update -- 23 - 29 September 2007
Yea, I'm 37 weeks old!
Masinja had his follow-up appointment for his hydrocele/hernia surgery, and the doc said he looks fine. He also said we don't have to bring Masinja back for anymore followups unless they're needed.
Also, Masinja was weighed and measured this week: 25 inches and 14lb, 14.5oz. He's getting so big, that it's getting hard to believe he was only 12.5 inches and 1lb 9oz when he was born.
Finally, here are some pics:
