Home!

We're home! After 5 days in the hospital, it feels great. We were able to bring oxygen home for Russell.  His pediatrician will help determine when to take him off of it. We see him on Friday.  We see the cardiologist on Monday and have an appointment with Children's on Tuesday. I think he will be examined by a few specialists and we will get resource information at Children's.

Russell gained a couple more ounces to make him 8 pounds exactly (he was 7-7 when we got to the hospital)! Adding a few extra calories to every bottle is helping a lot. We have instructions on how to continue to give him more calories per bottle (more formula per bottle).

I know I said I didn't want any pictures of him on oxygen but since he is going to be on it for awhile, I couldn't just stop taking pictures.  Plus, he is too cute, oxygen tubes or not.

Relaxing in my hospital bassinet.  

Travis is also home! We were excited to see him and he was excited to see us. Most of all, he was excited to see his baby brother.  We have to teach him to be extra careful around the oxygen.
