Oh no! He's been listening to Ben!
Oh no...I hope he finally got to sleep!
So I remembered some more stuff that Jackson got from Santa...a two feet tall Fisher Price Wheelies track, and the Hess truck from last year and this year. That is definitely too much!!

ok, so I'm still waiting to hear back about the ultrasound.... but... a friend gave me an idea when she asked how the doctor was about the hairy back at his checkup. From googling around, poor circulation in the legs and having legs turn blue/purple is TOTALLY linked to spina bifida!!!!!
Which only makes me mad that I was dismissed by that first doctor. I don't know if they can view the spine from an abdominal ultrasound though.
If the doc says nothing showed up on the ultrasound and that there is no explanation, I'm going to ask again about this issue.
I'm not freaked out if its the diagnosis, I know that clearly if he has it its extremely mild, I just want to know and I want it noted on his records so that if there are any other issues they don't get dismissed lightly and so that I can make sure to take extra folic acid next time (if there is a next time).

And thats just what he's getting from us, lol!!!
He's getting a little train for his wall where each car is a letter in his name, it has a little track to mount it and when he's older he can play with it (its not safe for play for under 3yrs). Thats from my FIL and StepMIL though they just gave me the money and told me to pick something out, lol.
I know my MIL got him some stuff when I was there... a wood bead on twisty wires thing like they have at the doctor's offices here. A 'giggle ball' which is basically a ball with all these noisey things (those things that are like a tube when you flip it, something moves down the tube and makes noise).. anyway when you roll or shake the ball the things move in all directions inside and it makes noise. Then she also got him these music instrument things... 4 different noisemaker things that you can hook together to make one big noise maker (rattly beads, tambourine discs etc).
I know she got him other stuff too though.
Oh yeah, I also got him 2 different fill and spill toys. One is a bird house with little birds that crinkle and rattle. The other is a fish bowl with Dr. Seuss fish in it.

I've found lots of online forums of moms with SB kids talking about this exact issue. Often its positional, color comes back quickly etc.
Most of the stuff I got him is pretty small in size, lol. But to be fair on the chair issue, I feel that I should be the one who decides what large items he gets, lol. And the huge doorway thing was a hand-me-down from a cousin. I am not 100% sure where it will go but I know for a fact it can be tucked away in his closet since thats where its been since we brought it home, lol.

Aw Lisa, I hope you get answers soon. I don't think they can see the spine with an ultrasound...I would imagine they'd need an MRI or xray. When I was in the hosptial with my appendectomy they did an ultrasound on my legs to looks for clots.

"After birth, it’s possible to diagnose this disorder with ultrasound technology in the case of newborns. Older children and adults will need to have an MRI scan in order to confirm the presence of spina bifida occulta, and then work out a treatment plan if necessary."
Wonder if he doesn't qualify as a newborn anymore for the ultrasound detection.
Interesting too I was reading that it can cause weakness, numbness, loss of sensation in legs. Again, clearly if Daniel has it its a super mild case, but I remember when he was about 4 months old he wasn't really supporting his weight on his legs (honestly they just collapsed under him like jello when we tried to stand him up). I didn't think about it much until I saw a bunch of babies around the same age who all liked standing and jumping on their parent's laps. Granted, we worked with him and within 2 weeks he had enough strength to stand on his legs and now he has a TON of strength in his legs... but that was on the slow side to develop.

In case I forget to update you girls here, I have a thread about this where I'll be putting results etc:
https://www.babyandbump.com/baby-cl...ed-purple-his-sleep-results-more-tests-3.html
I have like 4 different places I'm keeping posted on this issue.
The ultrasound was clear, it was only of the iliac artery though, not the abdominal like originally ordered. The vascular specialist wants to do the complete abdomen now. I mentioned the spina bifida thing and she is going to talk to the doctor before ordering the next ultrasound.
