1 Week Home and Counting

I am so happy to report that since we have been home, Callan has been doing amazing.  He is getting stronger and looking healthier every day.  A big concern while we were in the NICU was weight gain, but since we have been home (1 week) my little boy has gained an entire pound!!  At this rate he will be a pudgy boy in no time :)  We had our first follow up appointment with the cardiologist today.  She was very pleased with his progress.  His x-ray looked clear, his heart sounded strong, and his blood pressure was good.  We go back in a month for another follow up and a repeat echo.  If the echo looks good, they will take him off two of his medicines, which would leave him just on asprin until he is 1.  It was interesting being back at the hospital today.  Although it was just a week ago that we came home, it already feels like so long ago that all of this happened.  I am still in awe at just how much Callan has endured in his first month of life and thank the Lord every single day for my healthy and happy family.  So far, Callan is an easy baby.  He has a short temper and gets quite mad very quickly when he is hungry or when you change his diaper, but is content the rest of the time.  I can't wait to see more of his little personality come out over the coming months :)
