Getting better...

Jaime is finally peeing like a champ and he pooped once, too! YEA! Tom and I laugh at the fact that the last 24 hours we've been obsessed with Jaime's poo. HA!
Today was a fun day...Jaime got to meet Dr. Varyani, my original OB/GYN. She was so excited to meet him. She and her nurse, Altheena posed for a quick photo.

She was so encouraging throughout my entire pregnancy and was very grateful to the drs. in Cincy for keeping her updated on both mine and Jaime's conditions.
I had my appointment with her...all is well with me! I still have that weird nerve pain and I told her that the incision area is itchy, she said that is a sign that the nerve endings are healing, but it could take up to a year to completely heal. No biggie, we'll just keep an eye on it.

We ran some errands. Jared spent the afternoon at the sitter's. He just loves the kids that go there. It gave him something to do while we were at the drs. When we got home, there was a message from Cincy, they were checking on Jaime. I called them back. Just before I called them back, Mr. Jaime decided to pull his NG (feeding tube). I told the girls that Jaime did that, they asked if he was eating at least 90% of his bottles, I said yes, and they said we can keep it out! Woohoo! I just hope that he continues. We changed bottles to my favorite Platex "bag" bottles, he gets less air and does well with the nipple on them. I even got him to take his medicine by putting it in a nipple. Now, since the NG is out, I washed Jaime's face really good and have the O2 canual tightened in the back to "air out" his rashy cheeks. He's swatted at it a few times, but overall doesn't mind not having the big tape on his cheeks.


So, that's about it. Jared is doing well, he's dying to play outside...it was another crummy day here in Cleveland. We hope that tomorrow is nicer, Tom's band is playing at the St. Justin Festival tomorrow night at 7:30. We'll be there if anyone wants to stop up.

Thank you to everyone who has sent us special "welcome home" wishes, emails, comments, cards and presents. We appreciate all of them. A special "thank you" to Elizabeth from Breath of Hope who sent us a special package today. (Elizabeth, do you recognize the blanket on Jaime?) Elizabeth sent us CDH Awareness ribbons, too...if anyone is interested in one, I have some to pass out. Thanks!

Wishing everyone a great evening....
