2 months old!

Elijah is two months old today and we had his 2-mo. doctor's check this morning (including stinky vaccinations). He now weighs 9 lbs. 6 oz.!! Dr. Snook was in total disbelief! He's such a piggy little man, eating all the time and not letting Mommy and Daddy rest much. His constant feedings are starting to take a toll on us. We are more sleep deprived than ever, but of course we are...what did we expect?! I'll stop whining. Back to Eli... his height and weight are now in the 10th percentile, up from being in the 3rd percentile at his last visit. He's growing so well. I think all of his doctors are really just stunned.

We may have to increase his Lasix dose again soon since he's growing so fast (since Lasix doses are given according to weight), but that's to be expected. We see his cardiologist again on May 1st, so he'll probably get another chest xray then to make sure everything inside is still functioning ok. We also may have a better idea at that visit about when his upcoming angiogram will be (which will help determine when his first surgery will be).

What a good, sweet little chubby man we have. We will post more pics soon!
