Pictures and Visitors

Will had more family visitors this past weekend. Uncle Nic, Aunt Kim, Ross and Kalyn came by for a visit on their way back from Atlanta. Will loved being held by Uncle Nic and Aunt Kim. Ross and Kalyn loved meeting their cousin "Baby Will" who they have so preciously prayed for. We love visitors and look forward to many more!

Hi ya'll

Our precious Will

1st Pediatrician Appointment

Will had his first pediatrician appointment today. He saw Dr Ivancic instead of Dr. Stone today. Will weighs 8lbs but I think the scale was wrong so we are going to recheck his weight in 2 weeks. He has cradle cap and is having problems with his head prone to one side. So we are having to do head exercises to loosen the stiff muscles. He increased his formula intake to 90mls if he wants it. He also told us to stretch him to every 5 hours to see what he does. Hopefully we can do this and it will work and we can get a little more sleep at night. Will has still been having bowel issues. The karo syrup didn't work so we have been given suppositories in case we need them. Hopefully he can become regular again.

Will was not very happy on the table today naked. Poor thing!!

1st Road Trip

Will had his 1st road trip to Memphis to follow-up with the retinologist. He has no more ROP in his eyes anymore. Praise the Lord!!!!! He will just have to follow-up every 2 weeks with Dr Calzada. By the way, he loves riding in the car. We left early just in case we had to stop a little but we didn't and he did great.

Welcome Home Will

Discharge Day was amazing. We had a great time visiting with all the nurses who stopped by to tell us goodbye. We are enjoying and adjusting to life at home. Just wanted to share a few pictures of our Discharge Day and also some pictures at home. Enjoy! 

With Nurse Jessica. She was Drew's nurse when he passed away and we have always had a special connection to her since then. We love you Nurse Jessica and Will misses you!

With our social worker, Christy. Thanks Christy for everything! Will misses his "Aunt" Christy!

Will

Sorry I haven't posted much about being home with Will. I've kind been busy with a wee little one whom I'm still trying to figure out what all he likes. We've had a few rough days lately. He's been gassy and not having good bowel movements so we are trying karo syrup tonight because it's been 48 hrs since he has pooped. He's sleeping good at night but the day he's off and on. Overall we are glad he is home and are loving every moment with our sweet Will.

First night at home

Our first night at home was a success. Will slept great and ate great. As for his parents that is a different story. I think I got about 3 hours of sleep and Doug got about 5 hours of sleep after he moved to the guest bedroom to sleep. We had the angelcare monitor hooked up and it gave us a little piece of mind but we always looked at him and asked ourselves "is he breathing."

So all in all Will had a good night his parents on the other hand are really tired.
