On our own for a while

Today we had an apt with our cardiologist and all is well.  Davis had an EKG and general checkup and she is impressed with his weight gain and other stats.  So we were told we don't need to come back for a month, and to continue what we're doing.  At that next apt they will take him off the oxygen and if he can keep his O2 level above 85 we don't need to continue using it at home.  If this happens, i will ask to keep the portable unit in case we go into the mountains...just in case.  I couldn't be any happier with how well Davis is doing.  So we'll continue feeding him lots, and monitoring his heart twice a day.  Davis also had a great weekend of fun.  He attended his first BBQ at a friend's house, met lots of friends, hung out in Evergreen all day on Sunday and got LOTS of love/cuddles from the family. And today after our apt, I was able to get gas and go grocery shopping with Davis in tow.  This was a first for me on my own, and it went really well.  Davis slept most of the time and allowed me to get everything done.  What a guy.  It's nice to realize I can start doing some "normal" errands again without an entourage.  Another update for this week is that Davis seems to FINALLY be sleeping better.  The last two nights he only woke up once at about 2-3am.  This is a huge improvement and is allowing us to get a few hours of solid sleep at night which we're all enjoying.

Who would have ever thought going to the grocery store with a baby in tow would be a good thing...
He looks just great! Must be the good parenting/grandparenting, not to mention his own incredible strength and resolve...He's THE MAN!

Love, Cathy and all
