1 month today!

I know that its been a long time since I have added anything to our blogpage. We are just now starting to get back into a normal routine in the Fannin home! Its so hard to beleive that we have had Payton 1 month today! Mark and I had really forgotten what it was like to have a 2 year old again, but things are going really well. Payton is starting to sleep a lot better and he loves just being at his new home. He has adjusted really really well so far! We have been to several doctors appointment so far and have lots more to go.
He seen Dr. Taylor on Aug. 20th and that appointment took most of the day. She was concerned with his height and weight and he had to have a scan of his arm to check for rickets, she is almost sure that he does have them. He also had a lot of blood work done that day and we are waiting on the results of all the test to come in. Payton also had a very bad ear infection that day and is on medication for that. We will need to repeat all of his shots and will start them as soon as he gets over his infection.
We go back to Lexington on Sept. 4th for him to see a team of doctors for his cleft palate. All the doctors will check him that day to see what Payton will need repaired. He will need tubes in his ears for sure and his palate repaired along with his gum line. He will also be seen by a plastic surgeon to see if his lip and nose needs some additional repair. I feel that his nose will defenatley need to be repaired due to one side has dropped down. Payton has several surgeries to face but I am sure things will go fine. He is such a strong little boy who has been through alot in his life, but with all the love that this little guy receives he will have the strenght to overcome it all!
Payton is such a kind hearted and loving person, he brings a smile to everyone face when they meet him. We are so very blessed to have him as a part of our family. I will post some pictures of Payton in the next few days I PROMISE and will try to do better with updates.
