Ella went for her 6 mos follow up visit at the University of Minnesota-International Adoption Clinic. It is hard to believe she has been home almost six months. We moved her appt up a little since I'm off this week. If anyone is looking for an international adoption dr, we love Dr. Howard.
Here are some statistics: Ella is 33" inches tall. She weighs 26 pounds.
They were hoping she would have grown a little taller by now so they are mesuring her Human Growth Hormone and Thyroid function. Her belly is still slightly distended so they are doing a check of liver function and if there is any ongoing issues. They believe the belly distention and short stature are due to protein malnutrition while in Ethiopia. They believe she will continue to grow in height over the next 6 months. :)
They are very pleased with her progress developmentally. The occupational therapist stated she is right on track. They are also pleased with her language development.
The cutest part of the exam was when we were talking about family. She kept saying I love Hunter, he's mine. :)
