Gifts from Above

I just wanted to post some good news the pediatrician gave us Thursday afternoon! We went and had Tripp weighed and he has gained back 3 oz. in 2 days! Mommy was very proud because we have been strictly nursing and so everything must be working right! The most exciting thing was that she said the cardiologist called and said he is thinking Tripp's Long QT syndrome may be something he will grow out of!!! They were both a little suprised by his progress because they say most babies who are diagnosed with this do not progress this quickly or grow out of it. We will continue praying and hopefully this will turn into a wonderful miracle for our little boy. If he does not keep up the progress they will begin considering medication as he gets older and either way he will be fine and we will deal with whatever comes our way. The pediatrician also made Mommy's day by letting Tripp be off the monitor during feedings and times he is alert or being "admired" by others. He must be on all times he is sleeping, in the car seat, or we are in and out of the room he is in but he will get a break every once in a while. The monitor has only gone off one time when he was in his swing because he was not taking enough breaths.....so no more swing until he gets bigger. Other than that he gets more adorable each day and makes the funniest faces! Here is a picture of him at ONE WEEK OLD! We are so proud. :)
