Two Doctors--Two good reports

Joseph was seen by his cardiologist (heart doctor) on Monday and his ENT (ear nose and throat) doctor today. The doctors agreed that he is doing well and he just needs to stay healthy and keep growing. We thought that the cardiologist was going to want to see him at least every two weeks but he said to come back in 6 weeks. That was a good indication that he is doing well. Dr. Lewis, the cardiologist, was so good to him and he commented that he was the best behaved infant that day. I think that Joseph is comfortable in the medical world because he spent his first five weeks of life there. Maybe that will lead to his being a doctor when he grows up--That would be cool.
Joseph is being a little fussy lately during the day but he sleeps like a champ at night. We are worried he may be getting a cold. We really hope not because it will make breathing through his tubes that much more difficult. He almost at the halfway point on the tubes and they will come out in about 6 weeks. Unfortunately, that has to be done in surgery. After what he has been through it should be a piece of cake.
The visit to the cardiologist took us back to Children's Hospital. It was a little eerie being back and brought back the emotions we felt as we walked through the hallways. It was great to leave there and go home. It is a fine place, but it is soooooo good to have your child leaving there with you.
We were able to visit the NICU while we were there. We saw a few of the nurses that took care of him. They said he looked great and bigger. Nurse Dana said she reads the blog so ---HELLO DANA! Thanks for taking care of Joseph! Nurse Lindsey reads this too --- so a big shout out to NURSE LINDSEY. 3rd floor NICU ROCKS!
The blog is a little random tonight--lack of sleep will do that. I will have some pictures to post tomorrow. Sorry there are none with this blog. Thanks to all who continue to read this and to pray for Joseph. You ROCK too!
God Bless,
