Prayer Request for Keegan James Dondlinger, born yesterday, due 4 March

Private Communication | 24 November 2012 | El Gato

I would like to enlist the services of the Prayer Warriors for the grandson of a little girl who lived in my neighborhood when I was growing up. She's obviously not so little now, but is in need of your prayers.

Keegan James Dondlinger was born yesterday, November 23, 2012, but was due March 4, 2013, three days after my own grandson is due. He weighed 1.85 lbs, but he looks very well developed for being so young and so little.

He's been able to open his eyes, and to grasp his mother's finger.

And there are two “teaching” machines set up in the entry, which is pretty big. It also has La Gata’s Grandma’s Singer, proudly on display.

I'm hoping that they will meet someday. Keegan does live in my hometown, and his grandparents and great grandpa live a mile or so from the house where I lived from 3rd grade on. With my Mom gone now, my brother will probably move into it and sell his house.

So, a visit between Oscar and Keegan is not out of the question.

They are also his Grandma’s colors, since she is a professor there and has been since ‘89.

Wouldn’t it be fun to see them playing and giggling together? I hope it happens and you get to be there to smile with them!

I've been slacking again. Although to be fair, I've been on travel several of the past few weeks. Including this week.

Keegan turned 9 months old on August 23rd. Gestatinally though he's a few months younger than the time since he was born Here are the latest updates, but no new pictures since last update. But I'll put one of Oscar at the bottom..

-----

so Keegan's appointment tomorrow (Aug 14) with the neurosurgeon was postponed since the doc wont be in the office. So no new news there. Keegan's still wanting to sit up although not very good at it, and there is a tooth or two wanting to poke through in his mouth. Last time we checked he is up to around 13lbs and pretty much normal developmentally. Still working on the eating though. Minion gets an ultrasound on the 21st might post pics or just let the suspense build

-----

He weighed in at 6.01 Kg and 25.5 inches long in case anyone wanted to know. And his head is below the growth curve so that is another thing to talk to the neuro dude about at his September appointment.

-----

So Keegan had his 9 month appointment and had to get an increase in the amount of food to support his crunches habit. Apparently only measuring in at 5%with the goal being 20%. Keegan is gonna start working on learning to eat soon. He also got he 3rd hep B shot which he was so thrilled about. And in November ish he gets to start the RSV shot once a month.

Oscar, devourer of worlds.

Monkey butt and his parents visited me last weekend, and he got interested in this toy globe.

That’s not Keegan, it’s my grandson, Oscar. He’s a chewing machine right now. Has one tooth and working on a second one.

Sept 16. Keegan's followup with the neurosurgeon went well. Got an MRI done just to be safe and he hated every second of that.

Keegan is reported as working on his 5th tooth. Oscar got a 3rd through last week while visiting his Grandma Gato.

Keegan apparently really likes dinosaurs,since he has several dinosaur outfits.

Oscar will be attending a "Alice in Wonderland" themed party. He's going as a dormouse, His big Cousin, the Amazing Ms. V, will be The White Queen. Her twin sisters are going as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum and are apparently quite excited about it. The smaller twin won a "wrestling" match at their gymastics class of K through 2, apparently the first Kinder to do so, and the first girl. The other twin got third. (They've also been taking karate, I hope no other students were injured. :) ).
