Any Day Now!

Ethan is doing better every day and according to the doctor he could possibly be headed home as early as tomorrow, but he will have to do really great with his feedings. At any rate, he should be home by early next week anyway. He now ways 4 lbs 14 oz! 5 lbs here we come!! Grant was up for his audiologist appt the other day and we had pictures done by the March of Dimes. They were so cute together! This was the first time they were ever in a crib together. Hopefully I will get the picture CD really soon and get some of those pictures on here. For now, though, here's the one I took with my cell phone. Grant looks so big next to Ethan!
Grant passed in both ears at his hearing screening and Ethan had another screening done here today. This time he passed in his left ear, but still got a referral for the right ear. His last lab work on his liver showed one liver enzyme slightly higher than before, one slightly lower, and the other the same as before. His liver is still a little swollen, but I guess everything is stable now. Dr. Hall said that this could be monitored by the pediatrician now, so we are just working on getting Ethan to eat 8 times a day so we can pull out the NG tube and go home!
See you soon!

  1. Great news, Kara! I'm so excited for you guys to all get home together. I'm happy to hear that the hearing tests went well, and I'm sure Ethan will pass the other ear just fine in a few more days. How much does Grant weigh now? It's amazing what a few days can add up to in a newborn. And cute layout, I LOVE monkeys!
