Leo's had a great week and a half at home! He's a 1/2 an oz from being 8 lbs (7 lbs 15 1/2 oz)! He's becoming a better eater and his neck strength is improving each day. Because of his reflux issues he likes to keep us up for a few hours each night so that he can be held upright. Leo's home care nurse said we can raise his bed a little bit so it's at a 40 degree angle and it may help. We are doing everything we can before putting him on any more meds. Hopefully it's something he grows out of. Otherwise the nurse and his pediatrician said he looks great!
We have next week off for appointments for him, but then have a doctor's appointment and an appointment with a HUGS teacher (they are certified ECFE teachers that go into your home and do one-on-one visits with at risk infants). Since Leo had a very low birth weight they will monitor his development monthly for the first three years. The teacher will track his progress and give us activities to help Leo catch up to his peers.
Leo's first doctors appointment!
