Lots of updates!

Sorry for the delay in updating, once I was discharged from Abbott, the Childens hospital wouldn't allow access to the site so we are a little behind in our updates. I'll start with the most important update of all... WE ARE HOME!!!!! And it feels soooooo good! After not being outside for a week I was more then ready. It was a long ride home because the roads in the cites couldn't have been worse for driving.... And having a brand new bundle it was even more nerve wracking!!!!

All of Westin's tests went great. He had two more head ultrasounds and both showed that the ventricles were still normal! This will be monitored very close as this can change at any time, so for the next 4 weeks we will head back to the cities for check ups and head ultrasounds. After the next month these appts will be monthly. He also passed his hearing test and his carseat evaluation...who knew there was such a thing. He had to sit in his car seat for a hour hooked up to a monitor to check his heart rate and his breathing. We are also working on stretching his feet several times a day to help with his clubbed feet.

I know there is a lot to update on but the past week was pretty much a blur of dr's, nurses, machines, lots of snuggle time, and lack of sleep! The first night home went really well... Last night was not soo good. So we will see how tonight goes! Wish us luck. We are having the time of our life with him. Every day he amazes us more and more. We are so blessed and lucky to have him! I wanted to post some pictures of our new crazy life.
