Cardiologist Appointment

Brandt LOVES to talk to Joel!

...and smile @ Joel


Brandt had another echocardiogram at his cardiologist appointment this week, and everything continues stable as far as his Norwood recovery goes. Dr. Raunikar went through a very fast description/explanation of the 2nd surgery, but my mind refuses to process all that yet...we are just REALLY enjoying Brandt's happy babbling on a daily basis and thrilled for his progress...weighing in at 9lb 14 oz now :-) He's such a content baby and has worked up to 6 to 8 hrs of sleep at night this week as well--yay for me! The only time he complains is when he's hungry, which is still quite frequently throughout the day, but the extra sleep and many feedings throughout the day are obviously paying off. The pediatrician's goal for his weight gain is a half ouce per day, but this week he gained more than a full ounce a day. That's what we like to see!!!
