This week...

Our Christmas Tree and Tenny in his precious outfits.

Alright, Tuesday started off with us heading to Neosho to see Dr. Holmes. After Tennyson was weighed, measured and checked all over Dr. Holmes stated he looked perfect, which of course we already knew. He is scheduled for a follow up with Dr. Holmes on Dec. 21 and will receive his next hep B shot along with his two month immunizations (maybe I can talk dad into taking that appointment).

Tennyson has been spitting up quite a bit, almost back to where we were before we got the prevacid so Dr. Holmes increased his dosage to 2ML/day and if that doesn't work we will try something else next month. Dr. Holmes did comment on Tennyson being very active and not one you'll be able to take your eye off of. Hope the attached video shows that well though he does tend to wear himself out at times.

From there we headed back home and got lunch ready and then headed back out to see Dr. Jordan. Dr. Jordan examined his eyes and stated he's still showing the ROP however it isn't any worse than it was last week so that's a good sign. That it's not continually progressing is good. We will see him again Dec. 11, our due date.

From there we had about an hour and a half before we had to pick Travis up from work (the water pump in the truck is out so we're using the Pacifica for our transportation) and by the time we would drive home, we would have to turn right around and head back that direction so I had brought a bunch of extra blankets because I thought this may happen so Tennyson and I hung out in the car cuddled up until he got off work. It was really a great time to nap (praise the Lord for tinted windows, no one even saw us).

Rachel Bond brought over dinner for us, we had vegetable soup and croissants and cookies, it was wonderful and really hit the spot. God sure has blessed us with wonderful friends.

Wednesday, Tennyson and I spent the day catching up on sleep, he sleeps so well during the day and since I was apparently exhausted (Travis said Tuesday night I slept through Tennyson's cries so he got up and fed him, isn't my husband wonderful). We basically napped off and on all day. I was a bit nervous last night that he wouldn't be able to sleep however after his bath we were only up three or four times, it was great. I have noticed however that he's starting to fight sleep, if you're not holding him you have to be sure he's really out or he will wake himself back up and cry and cry because he doesn't want to go to sleep. Isn't it amazing how as children we fight sleep because we don't want to miss a thing and as adults we crave sleep because we never get enough??

Travis and I were visiting this morning before he headed to work and decided it's a good thing we don't rely heavily on the oxygen because when we woke up this morning Tennyson had it down on his top lip. I can't imagine how much oxygen we've pumped into our home without it actually going anywhere, you know? He doesn't really like to wear his cannula, I can't say that I blame him.

This morning the home health nurse came for a visit and we weighed in at 7lbs. 1 ounce. I can hardly believe it, he's doing so well. She did a full exam and said he still looked great.

I can't thank you all enough for taking the time to visit this blog, my apologies that I haven't been keeping up with it as well since he came home. I am hoping we will establish a routine and then I will be able to. However each time I think I've got a routine figured out, Tennyson goes and changes it. I knew I never should have asked the Lord to teach me patience. :)

Love you all, but I have to run, Tenny's waking up.

Amazed by the Almighty-

Travis, Lindsay & Tennyson Myers
