Phew! Today we are back on track! Justin is back to room air and is doing great. The doctor is pleased with how quickly he turned things around and is confident that he made the right moves to get him back on the meds that he needed. He was also a bit curious about the decisions that were made by the nurse practitioner. But, that is neither here nor there at this point and all that matters is that Justin is getting what he needs. He took his full bottle this morning at 9am and did a full feeding for me at 6pm. He also got a bath today so he is nice and clean and fluffy (his hair gets fluffy when it's clean). He is up to 5 lbs 12 ounces today. He got 2 doses of lasix in the 24 hour period today to get him back on track so his weight might be down a bit tomorrow, but we'll see.
This weekend Jason and I are going to put Justin's car seat together. They want us to bring it to the hospital so they can be ready for his car seat evaluation. We're getting closer and closer everyday :)
Justin is finally big enough that Grandmas and Grandpas can hold him and rock with him. See pics. We are excited for Grandma Sharon to get rid of her cold and feel better so she can snuggle with him too!!
What a thrill to see Tom and Sue finally get to hold Justin. Grandchildren are one of the best things in life. Sometimes it's hard to believe your heart can hold so much love without bursting! So haoppy to see how well he's doing.
