Therapy and visit to the doctor!

So today started out great and ended at the doctor.  Mommy took me to physical therapy today.  Mommy is so pleased with how far that I have come in therapy.  When I first started on January 14th, I was only 2 months old.  I could barely move my head to the left.  I only looked to the right and my flat spot was on the right side of my head.  Mommy worked hard with neck exercises a few days a week.  I still have my helmet but at least I can look both ways.   Today, I found out that I only have to goto therapy once a month so that made me so happy.  So mommy took me home. About an hour later, I was on the floor playing when mommy looked down at me.  Both of the bottom of my feet were purple.  Mommy thought that was odd so she took me over to our neighbors house and get a second opinion.  Our neighbor said they were certainly purple so mommy rushed me over to my peditrician who just happens to be located right next to my therapist.  Mommy didn't have an appointment and of course as soon as mommy got to the pedi, my feet were no longer purple.  But mommy got in anyway.  My regular doctor was not available so I saw another one in the practice, Dr. Hogan.  She was real nice.  They weighed me and I was 17lbs 13 oz.  Anyway, the doctor said the purple feet were normal.  It happens from time to time which mommy thought that was a bit odd but anyway, the doctor was more concerned about my excema than my feet.  Mommy feels like, although the flare ups are normal and mommy has been to the pediatric dermatologist, she felt like the excema was not a concern but this doctor was really focused on it.  So she gave mommy a prescription to fill.  Hopefully this will help me out.  So that's how my day went.  Mommy is so happy that I'm ok but my purple feet sure did scare her.  She's so tired and hopes that all my stuff, helmet, excema, therapy, etc will all end at once.  But mommy also knows and thanks God everyday that she only has to deal with these minor issues.  It could be so much worse.
