"It's been a while" Lot's to Update

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, when there's nothing remarkable happening, posting doesn't enter my mind. Gavin has been doing remarkably
His last pediatrician appointment 2 weeks ago, he weighted in at 13.3 lbs.

"Heart Buddies" = Friends for Life

You can imagine that Justin and I have met some amazing people during our stay at U of M. We've kept in contact with several families we became friends with during our stay.

Home Again

Gavin was discharged Saturday after spending 4 days at U of M.  He was hooked up to an EEG machine for 36 hrs and the neurologists found no signs of abnormalities. His MRI was also normal.  The Echo he had scheduled was done following the MRI, under the same sedation and that too was fine. 

We were given 3 options from the neurologist.

6 week checkup

Gavin had his 6 week discharge check up on July 19th.  He also had his repeat swallow study.
Dr. Cotts said Gavin was doing "good". Gavin is up to 10.3 (at that visit) and 24in long.  We think he's doing great so we asked for a letter grade

Results are in!!!!!!!

We found out today that all of the chromosome tests came back "normal", there are no signs of Digeorge or any other syndromes.  Our baby is fine. :)

After days of observing how he was eating, Justin and I decided it was okay to remove his NG tube.
