Once again, we are here hoping we have not lost all of our 'followers' with our delay in updating Caleb's blog. Sorry!!
The last couple months have been quite busy. My original surgery was cancelled by my GYN, so I proceeded to a new one and so thankful I did! What a great Doctor!! He had no problems "taking care of this problem" for me and so he did. March 17th I endured my first major surgery and am recovering well. So far anyway. :) It is hard to not do too much around the house, as everyone says you only have one chance to heal, so I am trying hard to 'rest'. he he...pretty tall order for a mom of 3. I am just glad to have it behind me as we prepare for Caleb's heart surgery in the next few months. Here's hoping I am back to 100% by then.
Caleb continues to bless us each and every day. He is now rolling all over the floor and bless us with a wonderful smile whenever we need one! We never know where we are going to find him once he gets rolling, he certainly does not roll straight, a little too head heavy. :) He weighs 15 lbs. 9 oz. now as he loves his solid foods. We are already up to twice a day on solids, so I am sure he will be on a more regular schedule soon.
His last cardiologist visit surprised us as his oxygen was back up to 85, so surgery was not as close as we had thought from his previous visit. So here's hoping that continues and he will be as close to one year old as possible before he will need to have his heart repair surgery done. At his previous visit his oxygen was down to 81, so the cardiologist certainly thought it was going to continue to drop slowly so we would need to start thinking about the surgery in the near future. He does go back in a couple weeks, so I guess that will be telling as to whether his oxygen is still good or low again. He also goes to a pulmonologist for his floopy airway, although there is not much they can do for that. I guess it would require surgery if there was a defect, but his upper GI did not show one, so it is just a really noisy airway. Some days are better then others, but boy, he sure can get noisy.
Thank you all so much for your continued support and prayers during this journey.
Enjoy all the pics!
Good news on his oxygen stats! Glad that you posted, I've been wondering about you guys.

Oh, and he's ADORABLE by the way!
So glad you all are doing well. These babies are getting so big! Sophie can roll, but doesn't go all over the floor like Caleb. She is content to sit and play or squeal at us when she's frustrated. :) Glad you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteYes, he is rolling, but not sitting up yet. :( We are working on that next. He likes to sit up in our laps, but is not sitting up on his own yet. Please continue to pray for my healing as well as the perfect timing for Caleb's heart repair!! THANK YOU!!
