5 months 1 week and 5 days old
We have been home longer this time than any other discharge 3 weeks and 2 days. Christmas has came and gone and we got to spend it here in the comfort of home. Last Friday I got a little adventurous and took Ameir to Walmart (I rarely shop here but it was right off the highway) on our way home from U of M. It was almost Christmas and I hadn't gotten either of my kids anything for Christmas yet. Ameir got his hearing aids and seen his cardiologist. His cardiologist told us he is getting too fat!! Ameir now weighs 14 pounds and 6 ounces, he is 23.5 inches long. Funny that his record has a diagnosis of failure to thrive. Also his PDA is most likely closed all the way and the murmur from his VSD is very faint meaning it will most likely close completely on its own. Great news is that we get to come back in 3 months he is doing so good.
Since being home Ameir has gotten a bigger personality. He seems to be much more alert and pay attention to things. He loves his toys and his mobile. He looks around when the mobile stops like he is sad that it stopped. He sleeps really good here at home. We are having a few minor nursing issues, some days I am alone and others I have 24 hours of nursing...I hate it this way because I want to be able to do everything in the day when he is awake and not have to catch up on sleep because I won't have a night nurse.
