Update!!

Just a quick update of our week with Zachary!  The home health nurse came by on Monday to do a check.  He was up to 6lb. 5oz. and doing well!  Tuesday the Occupational Therapist was here.  She is always full of information and help!  Wednesday we went to see the Pediatric Plastic Surgeon who will be doing his cleft lip/palate repair!  He said at this point we are shooting for doing his lip repair at the end of the month!!  Today, we met with the Dietitian to go over his feeds.  She thought he was doing well and will continue to monitor his feeding schedule/amount!  We also had an appointment with our pediatrician.  That visit was mostly just a check in to see what all the different specialists are doing or will be doing in the future.   He also did a weight check and he is up to 6lbs., 14 oz.!!!  Also he has grown an inch and a half!

Tomorrow we will go see the Gastric Specialist to schedule putting in a G-tube.  That will probably happen early next week!  That will help eliminate so much going on with his mouth right now!  We're excited about that for him!!

Saturday we're headed to Sam's baby shower in Rexburg and we will also leave Sabrina at college there as well!  Sam is scheduled to have a C-section next Wednesday because her baby is breech at the moment....we're praying he turns before then! 

Whew, that's the latest!  Everyday is an appointment with a different specialist, so it keeps us hopping (and wears him out)....it should start to settle down a little after another month or so!  :)
