hi all,Hope everyone is doing great. We are all very good, a little tired, but making it. It should really get exciting when little Kelson comes home. Kelson is doing very well. He had an upper GI on Friday, and they found that the reason his heart rate was dropping while eating was due to reflux. So now they have him on a thicker formula, that he can swallow but not asperate on. They tried to thiccken up the breast milk, but it became to thick and wore him out, and the cannot add rice to the breast milk because it breaks down the protein, so for the time being hi will be on the formula until his esophugus matutres. He had a great day today with no heart rate drops so hopefully we can begin the 5 day countdown!Kyson is also doing great he is getting settled into his new home, and had his first bath today. It was a family affair. His big brothers are absolutly amazed with everything he does, and Miss Kendall wants to give him kisses all the time, that and try to pull his toes, and hair. She also keeps her post by Kysons bed and Shushes everyone while he sleeps.And for the update with the cardiologist appt. that I had on Friday - we decided not to go with him. Kevins 1st question was have you ever done this procedure? the answer was no but the Dr did say that he could get a video to watch to learn how to do it and borrow the tools from another hospital. I don't think you can get much better medical care than that :) Kevin did ask what happened if I began to bleed - he said that usually doesn't happen, and if it did they would have figure out what to do then! Hello - needless to say we left there in a hurry. I found it a little comical - Kevin not so much.Well we hope you have a blessed Sunday - love to all!
