GOOD NEWS! We have a infant CPR class 9:30 tomorrow. This will prepare us for LUIS' ARRIVAL HOME TUESDAY!
The nurse gave us the news tonight. We have to bring in the car seat so they can see how well he does in it. Monday October 1st they come to the house with Luis equipment. This consists of a Breathing and Heart Rate Monitor, and an oxygen unit. Monday night we stay over to the hospital so we can get used to the equipment and see how well he adjusts to the different machine.
Luis had a hearing test today, the results are normal. He also drank 58cc of milk (Very good).
Dr. Bing performed his circumcision this morning and he is doing fine (Mom's fault). Dr. Bing was very happy to see him doing so well. She is one of the doctors that performed the Caesarian Section on Mommy.
Luis is now off the 24 calorie supplement and is on regular 22 calorie breast milk and or Infacare.
Today Mommy signed to have little Luis circumcised. Luis, when you read this years from now, Mom did it!
