Busy, Busy, Busy

Yesterday, Jackson had his 15 month check up. The doctor is happy with his steady weight gain and projects that he will catch up to a normal weight at around 2 years of age. Dr. Setter agreed with Dr. Gus from the preemie clinic and referred us to PT, OT, and Speech Therapy. Dr. Setter is also concerned about Jack's multiple ear infections, so he is also referring us to an ENT for possible tube placement. He thinks that once Jack gets the tubes put in and the fluid drains out, then Jack will be able to hear better and start talking.
This morning, Jack had urological surgery. At 6am, we got to St. Francis, and shortly after arrival they gave Jack some "Giggle Juice", which made him very loopy. They then took him to surgery where they gave him gas to put him to sleep and then put in an IV and started the surgery. It took about 45 minutes, and then Dr. Miller came out to the waiting room and told me the surgery was a success! When I got to recovery, Jack was still very groggy and starving! He ate 3 bottles of "sugar water" and once his O2 saturation was back to normal we got to take him home. For the rest of the day he slept off the anesthesia and was still very comfortable because the local anesthetic that the doctor gave hadn't worn off yet. We'll see how he does tomorrow....
