2 months old!

Today Chase is two months old. Can you believe it? As of yesterday he was also 4lbs. 90z. I anticipate when he gets weighed today that he'll be officially double his birth weight! Although we still don't have a discharge date, we know there is only a short time left before he comes home. This couldn't make Jas and I more happy. We continue to be amazed by his progress on a daily basis, and as you can see from the number of pictures in the gallery thus far, we've tried to document his journey for you all:)

There have only been a few changes to the orders recently. He now is receiving all of his feedings p.o. and the flow on his cannula is going to be decreased to 1.5 L. You might be thinking these sound familiar-we did have a few little bumps in the road where the orders were written last week, but he ended up tuckering out with some of the changes so we're shooting to see how he does again now. Since he was switched off the heated cannula, we haven't had to deal with the "rain out" where he was getting water up his nose when the tubes were moved around. He also received his first set of vaccinations last night. One last update-the cardiologist isn't back from vacation til next week, so more information will come then.

A little side note-the little man is quite gassy, and even though I've started to watch a little more carefully what I eat(I can't give up spicy stuff all together) its a good thing he doesn't have a roommate right now, because he can knock you out some days. Too much information right? We've filled you in on so many of the details of his life since the beginning, so we figured no turning back now!!
