Bubble Note #88

Home and happy.  View this email in your browser Curious, independent and talkative It's been way to long since I sent an update about our family. To our utmost delight, Theo came home from the NICU on Easter Sunday, 4 weeks after his predicted due date. When he first came home we had appointments 3-5 times a week, he was on oxygen 24/7 and his med list had us administering meds every 4 hours. Now, at 7 months old (and 4 months adjusted) he is completely off the oxygen, we don't have another doctors appointment for 6 more weeks and he will soon exclusively be on vitamins!  We are so thankful for how well he is doing. We are still closely monitoring his development as the severity of his brain bleeds could still manifest as cerebral palsy. But he is currently meeting all of his milestones (for his adjusted age). He is still very small- about 9 lbs, which is well below the 1%, but we are hoping he will eventually catch up. It is unknown why he is not able to grow as effectively as other children.   The day Theo came home 5 months old 6 months old 7 months old Summer has also started which means Andrew is busy with Camp. He moved into a new position last fall which means he has more time at home this summer than last. We also sold our tiny house! Although we were sad to see it go we were very glad it sold. We have been living in a mobile home we recently renovated at camp. It has a great backyard which Theo will eventually enjoy.  Copyright © 2016 Beth Galster, All rights reserved.
