Great being back home

It's great to be back home with Luke. He and Jack are happy to be back together. I think both boys have been worn out this past week - both napped very well yesterday and they are sleeping in this morning. Luke is doing well with his oxygen and seems a little more energetic than usual. He may have needed the extra oxygen for a while, and because of that we are switching to another clinic at Children's Hospital that Luke will see monthly. Now that he is a year old, he has outgrown the high-risk newborn clinic and the new clinic works closely with other departments (pulmonary, cardiology) and can keep a closer watch on his development.

Luke has a pulmonary appointment the first week in November and will stay on oxygen at least until then. It doesn't seem to bother him while he plays and crawls around all day. He enjoys grabbing the tubing and chewing on it, and Jack will play with it sometimes too. It will be a long weekend of trying to clean and get caught up with everything - being at the hospital unexpectedly for nine days leaves a lot to be done...
