I'm Wireless!!!!

Yesterday was Charley's check up with the pediatrician. He did really well and currently weighs 11 lbs. 11.5 oz. and is 23 inches long. The Dr. was very happy with his progress and doesn't need to see him again for 2 months. Charley got his icky shots, but he's feeling surprisingly okay today. Only one more round of the RSV shot and then we'll be finished. with that. Also, he has been taken off his apnea monitor.....he's free!!!!! Although it's a little bit of an adjustment, it's comforting to know that since he's been home Charley has been completely free of any "real" apnea episodes. The doctor is very confident that if Charley was going to show us any signs of apnea he probably would've done it by now.

Today was the NICU follow-up clinic where Charley met with the speech therapist, occupational therapist, physical therapist and nurse. They rate him based on his corrected age which is 2 1/2 months. Charley is doing remarkably well and is unexpectedly at the 4 month level for most of the areas, other than hand movements which he is at the expected 2 1/2 month mark. We were very happy to find out that Charley's favorite nurse, Miss Beverly was working, so we got to stop in to say hello. It was really neat to see a few of Charley's nurses from the NICU and show them how big he is!

What a great day, and it's only noon! The rest of the day we're going to run some errands and maybe, just maybe, we'll get to squeeze in a nap!
