Follow Up Echo
Today Tanner had a follow up appointment to get another echo at Primary's to make sure everything is still looking ok inside and that he's healing properly.
My dad was able to come with me to help out and translate anything I may not have understood.
It was supposed to be a sedated echo, but I asked them if we could try not to sedate him since he always has done so well during echos before. He wasn't allowed to eat for a while before and was throwing a fit cuz he was so hungry, so they ended up having to sedate him anyway.
Everything went very well through! I only cried once. It was when they were getting the IV in him and he was screaming. Other than that, I was ok.
Our Cardiologist said that he is looking great. His pulses are very strong, and everything that she saw from the echo looks wonderful.
We don't have to go see her for another 3 months, and unless something goes wrong, he won't have to have another echo until he's 3 years old. Yay!

2 Months Old and Doing Great!

He is still doing very well and we just had his 2 month appointment with his pediatrician today. He is very happy at how well he is doing.
He is now weighing 8 lbs 14 oz and is 21 inches long. You go kid!
I was also able to finally get a 4 generation picture with my Grandma Cannon, Dad, me and Tanner. yay!
He has another echo scheduled this Friday to see how everying is doing inside. I'm a little nervous, but what parent wouldn't be I guess?

Want More Updates?
Helloooo! I feel like a total slacker on this blog now that we have been home and getting back to normal. I am trying to remember to update it sometimes, but it just doesn't end up happening. Sorry!
I have, however, been updating my other blog quite regularly with updates of our family and especially Tanner.
So if you are wanting to see updates more often check out this blog!

Scar? What Scar?
People have been asking how Tanner is looking and how his incisions are healing. So here is an update to see how GREAT he is looking! (hey Aunt Callie! This one's for you!)
The two little dots on either side just below the long scar are where his pacer wires were. These should go away completely.
The bigger blob below the long scar is where his chest tube was. There will be a permanent scar there, but it will lighten up a lot. It is looking so much better than just a week ago! It was a little infected before...
Also, the scab from his belly button finally fell off yesterday! He has an official innie! I tried to get a picture without waking him up, but his diaper is covering it, so hopefully I'll get one later.

1 Month Old. Still Settling In.
1 Month! But only been home for a week.
He is finally back up to his birthweight at 6lbs and 6oz. As long as he keeps gaining weight, his recovery should be great!
Noming Mom... it was so cute I had to get a picture.
