He's gained an ounce a day pretty steadily since he has been home! (12 oz in the last 10 days! over 2 pounds since he's been home!!) as well as grown 2 1/4 inches. He had to get his immunizations this time, but again he handled them totally fine. 
Still on oxygen--will be for a while. No biggie, except I'm ready to take a sledgehammer to his pulse-ox machine. I cannot wait for the day I can casually pick him up and move from room to room without dragging 2 machines with me. Oh, and the day I can dress him without unhooking machines and being able to quickly popping an outfit over his head will be so nice! 


We have a surgical consult scheduled for the first week in August at Primary. We should find out when we will schedule the 1st surgery (hopefully the 2nd won't be for a year) and get a better idea about the severity of his Chronic Lung Disease. 


He is doing GREAT! Early Intervention is having a Nutritionist visit this week as that is his only 'issue' currently that they can help him with. (not really any issues, but based on his ACTUAL age there are a few) Its possible they will just 'track' him for a few months until he is old enough to work with others in the program.
