Another day

The days at home are still going well! We had our first outing to the pediatricians office today. A little chaotic but nonetheless, successful. The Pediatrician seemed impressed of how much we knew about his uptake and general care. After questioning us about the doctors we were visiting and what they were doing for him, he basically said that he was doing well and for us to call him if we had any questions. He won't be his primary doctor until Memphis is declared ok to only see him and the pulmonary doctor in Huntsville.

The Pulmonary doctor in huntsville has come with high marks from both Birmingham and our family doctor. This is definitely comforting since this is going to be who really sees Memphis through the early stages of his recovery at home. Memphis is really looking forward to meeting this doctor and seeing how he compares to other cases that have been through his office.

Memphis' awake time consists of fussing, laying on his mat, trying tummy time, sitting in his chair, and swinging. Doesn't seem like a lot, but it leaves very little down time for mom and dad. he is really doing so well with all of the work. Just today he spent a long time working on feeding from a bottle. He only got around 3cc, but that's a small victory with how much he's been taking. Zero. His g-tube site seems to be getting better daily. he is really trying to roll over now too, but the funny part of it is that when we actually flip him over he gets so mad.

He enjoys sitting and talking with the family, and sometimes enjoys listening to daddy play guitar. The mandolin is a different story all together. Maybe daddy needs to practice on that one before letting little ears hear it.

Thanks for checking in on Memphis!
