Getting into the groove

I finally feel like we are getting into a groove at the house. All the medicines, combined with spacing out of the feedings. Making sure everything gets done, but also making sure we have enough time to spend as a family. Once we get home from work time flies. It seems like we just get home and it is time to put Garet to bed. We have had so much help from friends and family, I have no idea what we would do without it. Grandma Rose has been staying with us and is so much help. She has been taking care of dinner and taking care of Garet all day long. I really do not know what we are going to do when she has to go home. Overall things have been going pretty smooth. Even with all the medicine that we have to give it is really starting to feel like things are getting back to normal.

Thursday we have a dr visit over at Shands. They will most likely do a EKG and an ECO. Hopefully they will be able to tell us how the function of his heart is doing right there at the appointment. We are going to try to move around some of his medicines so there is not so many different times in the day that he has to take them. We are going to see what ones we can give at the same time. At first he was having a hard time taking to many at one time, but I think he is starting to get used to taking them. He is not happy about taking them all the time, but is doing good about getting it all down.

A couple of the medicines that he is taking make him pee a lot so we seem to be going threw more diapers then we had been. It is a very good thing that he is peeing so much so we will just have to buy the bigger box of diapers. His heart does not have to work so hard if there is less fluid in his body. So keep the pee coming.

It is hard to believe that in a couple weeks he will be 3 months old. He has changed so much in just the time that we have been home from the hospital. He no longer wants to lay down as much. He would rather be sitting in your lap or sitting up on the couch. He is smiling so much more now. When you talk to him you can see that he is trying to compute what you are saying. He is starting to do little laughs when he smiles, and I don't think it will be to much longer and he will be doing those cute belly laughs. It is so nice to see those smiles when you get home from work. Most days those smiles are what really keep you going. Overall things are going really well and we hope to have some new news to bring to you on Thursday.
