First Checkup

Well, Baby Nick went to Johns Hopkins for his first checkup since we got back to the shore. He had bloodwork done yesterday and they told us today that his bilirubin is down now to 4.0! He has also gained a half pound, putting him at 10.5 lbs. The doctor says he looks good, and that he is relieved that he's doing so well. The g-tube is becoming less necessary, since we're giving him his meds orally now, so the doctor says we should tell G.I. and maybe they'll talk about taking it out....That would be nice not to have to worry about. After his next appointment, they're talking about taking him off some of his meds. He's eating well-I gave him 5 oz. in one sitting tonight and he seems to have a great appetite.
Well, that's all for now.....thanks for reading!
