first A+ progress report
The sequel had his first checkup with the pediatrician today because they have to be seen within the first 48 hours after leaving the nicu. It was nice to learn that our Dr was actually trained by the dr who had taken such great care of our sequel in the nicu. He was very pleased with the sequel’s health and development already. At four days old, he is already up half an ounce and a quarter inch from birth. Thanks to the two days of iv fluids, he never had that dramatic weight loss that most newborns have (he was only down 2.5 ounces from birth when we left the hospital, compared to his brother who had lost nine ounces before coming home). His breathing was good with no signs of labor or blockage. It was great to get a good report after such a stressful weekend.
