Life at Home

Well, we brought Xander home on Wednesday last week. He’s been doing good. When I took him to the doctor on Thursday, he weighed 5lbs 1oz. We go in to check his weight again next Thursday.

Coming Home!

Hooray, hooray! The doctor is going to discharge Xander from the hospital tomorrow morning. They took out his feeding tube yesterday and he has been eating all his feedings on his own. We are planning on coming home tomorrow. I am so glad. I can’t wait to all be together as a family again.

Signs of Improvement

Xander is slowly making progress. He has been moved from the warmer to a crib, so he is holding his temperature now. He gets every other feeding by bottle (instead of every third), and he has been eating most of his bottle feedings all on his own. Yipee! He has gained weight, too, and he’s up to 4lbs 11ozs. He is just as cute as can be, but I don’t have any more recent photos. We’ll get some tomorrow. The doctors have been doing lots of tests to rule out any potential problems, so I am happy to report that his brain and heart are both perfect. He’s just a pokey feeder, but he’s getting better at that.

Tracy spent the weekend at home with the boys and Camary and they all had a great time. He’s back in Vegas tonight and the boys go back to our awesome neighbors, the Kimbers. Three cheers for the Kimbers for taking such good care of the boys! I miss them, but I hope we’ll all be together again soon.
