My little chubby wubby.

An older picture but it definitely shows us how much he has grown and changed since November 11th- and how healthy he is and how much of a fighter!

We had our 2 month vaccines today- he did well but has been a mamma's boy all day. This is my quick break before he gets up again. Poor little man, I feel so bad for him. They jab the needles in there and its a huge shock, he didn't see it coming!

In addition to the vaccines, we did our weight check and he is up to 8lbs, 11 oz! Its so amazing to see him start filling out. He is also about 21 inches and 1/4.

Everything else looked fine but we had problems with the pulse ox machine today. His numbers previously have always been 84+. Last time he was very high (for him) with 88-92. Today, the machine was all over, 70s to low 80s. At one point, it did hit 89 but it was obvious it wasn't staying up there. Its worrisome too because he wasn't blue at all or turning colors with the lower number.

What this means is that if the numbers stay this low, his surgery will be moved up to this month most likely. I had some tears but held them in when the doctor called CHOP and spoke to the surgeon and cardiologist there. To monitor this, for the next week, we are having a home health nurse visit our house daily to check his levels. We have a follow up next Thursday to discuss them and probably conference in CHOP again. The good thing is we have a cardiologist appointment already scheduled for Tuesday so we are hoping he can do another sonogram and see what's going on, if the pulmonary valve has worsened or it was just a bad couple of hours.

I hope for the latter but at the end of the day, the surgery, no matter how scary and awful it will be for Alex and I, or how painful it might be for Liam, will put our minds at ease and provide him with a healthy heart. Looking forward to the day where we don't need to check his coloring and continuously monitor him. I'd like him to be just a regular little boy and play baseball in a few years! Keep us in your prayers, and let's hope he at least maintains his numbers. We want to do a scheduled surgery and not emergency. God bless.
