Last week Owen was finally accepted for 3 synagis shot (RSV vaccination). This will help his immune system to fight off RSV that could put him in the hospital.
Owen had to go to the hearing specialist last week because he failed two hearing tests in the hospital. He finally passed the test! Great relief!
We have been cleared of all of the state new born screening!
Owen is doing therapy multiple times a day to work on his flexibility and strength as well as vision and his sensory system. He is slowly improving with all of the above skills! We have an Occupational Therapists that comes in weekly and teaches us the exercises and will do so for up to three years.
Owen was 7lbs 13oz yesterday!! Once he reaches 8lbs we are going to work on weaning the oxygen, getting him off of his monitors and off of his medications.
His personality is continuing to shine through, becoming more and more comfortable at home, loves his bath time, if he is unhappy with something he will let you know and make sure you take care of it right away:) he is almost out of his newborn clothes and diapers and has grown into all of his extra skin finally!
Its so good to see the family at home, and not in so much stress! Love the pictures!
