Kilo Kai

Kai has been home nearly 2 weeks and everything is going great! We've taken him to lots of doctors appointments.
He's been seen by his eye doctor who did the surgery and likes what he sees in Kai's eyes and will continue to follow him every other week until he's around 1!

We met the local Pediatric Cardiologist to asses his PDA that is still there. She took an ultrasound of his heart and an EKG and will follow him every other week as well for as long as it's open.

The other specialist Kai met was the Occupational Therapist at Dominican. She will help us work on feedings, tummy time, muscle tone, and stretching every week.

Aside from running around to doctor's appointments, Kai has been keeping us busy just as any 'newborn' would! He loves to be held and loves his swing. I've finally figured out what bottle and nipple works best for him so he can eat at a steady pace and not have any apneic or brady episodes. The other night he pulled out his feeding tube again and this time our Pediatrician told us to leave it out and see how he does until we see GI specialist in two weeks. So far, he's been doing well with taking the bottle more often. He could be eating more for sure, but I think he'll figure it out and realize that he's hungry and has to work for food now. He's still struggling with the reflux, but I think the Prilosec is working and as long as he doesn't eat too much too fast he's fine.

He's also finally hit the 8 pound marker and looks great!

Thanks to everyone for all the love and sweet thoughts!
