A good day . . . A not so good day





Finally!  Crew has been pooping all night.  He's having large meconium filled diapers and keeps going and going.  Whew!!  I think we're finally on our way.  The breast milk should be able to move through now, and we should start seeing transitional stools and then on to the healthy yellow poo.  Hurray!!  Enough with the poop talk!!  If you can't tell, I'm a little excited about this breakthrough.

On to the bad . . . poor guy had a couple SVT runs last night, and one today.  He hasn't had that issue in over a week . . . maybe even two weeks.  They had to give him Adenosine each time to convert him to a normal sinus rhythm. He tolerated the episodes well, and converted easily and quickly with the medication.  The doctors think that he just outgrew his medication dose, so they increased his Esmolol drip for now.  The cardiologist doesn't seem too concerned, so we won't be either.  Well, we'll try not to be anyway.

A little smile for the day!

Wearing the outfit that Grandma Schow bought him.
 We thought it would be too small, but it fit perfectly.
This is a sign that hangs above Crew's bed


Those of you who are squeamish  . . . look away.
 This is the kind of poop we've been looking for.
