Kaleb Prinz: Quick Update

I know it has been awhile since we posted to the blog. Not sure why we have not been writing but I can only contribute it to enjoying being home with the little man.

Quick update; Kaleb is now 3.94kg or 8lbs 11oz. His oxygen levels are in the mid to upper 80's. Which means he’s doing fantastic!!!

Don't have too much time to write. I can promise you we'll have a couple of post over thanksgiving when we have a little more time. Ironically I think we're busier at home then we were in the hospital. But I wanted to post a quick update and a couple of pictures.

We've been mostly steady over the past 3 weeks except for a little feeding issue. Kaleb has some wicked reflux but we're told that is normal with a cardiac baby. Besides, he has a tube in his throat which is just asking for reflux...... in my humble opinion... :) So we went back on the feeding pump instead of gravity feeds and increased our reflux medications and all seems to be doing well.

The safe at home program is great. We meet every Monday at Children’s with our Cardiologist and give them our daily report. Which consist of a feeding schedule, oxygen levels, and weight. Unfortunately, Kaleb has to get blood drawn and x-ray’s too, which is no fun, but he’s a trooper!

That’s our routine at the moment. We also have so many people to thank and the support that we’ve been receiving has been beyond our expectations. Again, more on this later as we’ll have more time to write.

So enjoy a couple of pictures of the boy and we both promise to provide updates more regularly.
