Hello again,
Just a quick update as I'm sure there will be more to come in a couple days when he turns one month old. Our appt with the cardiologist went well today. Our pediatrician heard a heart murmur that she hadnt heard before so we did a work up on him today. There is a small hole in his heart which is consistent with his age.
Basically, once a baby is born the blood is re-routed through the lungs so in return the previous route that runs through the umbilical cord needs to heal up, hence the hole... So, the cardiologist said that everything looked pretty normal and shouldnt need a follow up unless the murmur doesnt go away in a couple months.
Logan does, however, have acid reflux which we got medication for. It should take a day or two to kick in but he seems to be a bit happier already. We also have an ultrasound scheduled for the end of December for his hips. As far as we know though, its just for follow-up procedures.
This week was particulariy rough on Katie as I was down at Liggett for some training. I was able to come home a bit early for the appointment today though which was some relief for her. Many of the wives whose husbands I work with brought food over for her though. Some came over to help out with toulie and others even did some cleaning around the house and cooking. It was tremendous help for Katie which we are both greatly appreciative.
Anyway, will write more soon.
