Holding steady

Nicholas continues to do well post surgery. His incisions are looking good. He is still on 1/8 of a liter of oxygen. We have our follow up with Pulmonology on June 7th. and we will see about starting to wean him. We did our own little experiment when Nicholas was admitted to the Children's Hospital here in Madison (which is a very nice facility); we took his oxygen off for just a few minutes to see how he would sat and he did fairly well for a few minutes. He was on a continuous pulse ox, so, we figured we'd be ok. We saw his pediatrician last Thursday and Nicholas tipped the scale at just 10lbs. This week, Nicholas will get his 4 month immunizations.

Last weekend Mommy M. went back to Cleveland for cousin Kaitlynn's first communion. We wish we all could have gone but we're not able to be air born just yet given our oxygen requirements. Nana, Papa and GG (Great Grandma) came in for reinforcement. Nicholas is never starved for attention when either set of grandparents are here, as he is typically held for the entire visit! We also got our vegetable garden planted which I'm sure Denise M. is sad she missed out on planting.

We've picked out some pictures we've taken in the last week. Nicholas still has a good set of cheeks, but he's finally growing into them. He has such a good demeanor and is such a good baby. We can't wait to introduce him to all of you as he gets bigger.
