We went to visit Dr. Stock this morning. Owen had the full workup and we're going to take things slow with him and just see how he does. Over the next two weeks, I am to wean his Oxygen a bit. He's only on .5 liters so I'll just go down from there. It's all up to me how much I wean and see how he does. I love that they trust me so much! :) His 02 sats were 90... so he has room to drop down to the mid 80's.
We're not going to change any of his nine medications... YET! His heart is still 1/3 larger than it should be which still means his function is down, which explains the super speedy breathing and the extra puffiness. This is why he needs diuretics 4 times a day. Hopefully things will get better with time... we're optimistic!
On the upside... he's gaining weight... 11lb 8oz (6%) . He's growing inches... 24"(20%). He's cutting his first two teeth on the bottom... SO CUTE! He is developing just as any other baby would. He hates tummy time... but seriously... how many babies love it?
Keep it up Mr. Owen!

I am so proud of Owen! Even with a few little quirks to work through he is so happy and loving life. That is how we all should be! I hope you can ween him very soon from all of the O2. I bet he's really going to grow now.
