And back to our regularly scheduled programming....

Hello- well, it has been a frustrating week. I have been pretty discouraged with not being able to bring Nate home. He has continued to have regular episodes of bradycardia (dropping his heart rate). Starting today they are doing more tests to see if it is the reflux that is solely responsible for this or if there may be another underlying issue. I feel better that there is some investigation going on instead of just waiting to see if he will grow out of it. We have been expecting to be discharged on 5 different days in the past 2 weeks, only to be told that day he was not going home. The frustration did get the better of me this last week. Sorry for the lack of posts.

On the positive side, Nate is eating pretty well and tonight weighed in at 6 pounds 11 ounces!! Some of his preemie clothes are actually starting to fit/get snug. He is such a good baby and rarely fusses. He makes some of the funniest faces-- I have some good pictures of a couple of them, but I wish I could have captured some of them that I missed!

I am hoping that he gets home this week, but--again-- not holding my breath.

I was going to post some pictures, but I was having difficulty getting them uploaded a while ago-- I will try again tomorrow.
