Luis spent his first day at daycare. This was a test run so Luis and ourselves will be ready for seperation when mom goes back to work.
The nurses at the daycare said Luis did great. He drank all his milk and slept most of the day.
Mommy couldn't handle a WHOLE day without Luis yet so he only was there till 2 o'clock. I think this will take a few trial runs. :-)

Luis had his eye appointment today. Dr. Hunter examined him and told us Luis no longer has ROP. Luis' retinas have matured. This is a great thing.

Luis visited his pediatrician today. Dr. Ginny. He was scheduled to get his 3-month vaccine. Luis had his 2-month a little late so he has to wait another month. Big sister has an appointment the same day to get her influenza shots.

Luis visited the eye doctor today for his regular checkup. Luis was on his best behavior. He cried throught the uncomfortable procedure but as soon as mom picked him up he was ok. As for the results, well Luis improved! He was at Zone 2 Stage 2 of ROP. Today he tested Zone 1 Stage 3.
