Day 2, 3, & 4

So day 2, 3, and 4 have come and passed. We spent much on Sunday morning getting checked out from various doctors and generally making sure we could go home. Sunday afternoon was spent finishing up paperwork, seeing hospital photographer, and other checkout procedures. We arrived home on Sunday around 4 p.m. Got some food and then began the process of seeing family. Not much can really be said about Sunday, but as for Monday morning...That's a different story! For the sole discretion of this blog, Monday morning shall not be defined in the traditional sense (6am - 10am) but shall be defined on Hendrix's schedule. Monday morning (12am - 6am) was spent with 2 hr feedings, 4 diaper changes and general gaseous discomfort. No no not my gaseous discomfort, Hendrix's. His tummy didn't feel so well. So given the conditions of said 'Monday Morning', Monday was spent with lots of naps. I (David) did attend my one scheduled class. While I was at class, Hendrix, mom and Grandma went to the doctor for a little post hospital checkup. Hendrix saw the Dr. got his weight (7lbs 5 oz.) and checked his belirubion (sp) level. After the main checkup Hendrix had a chest x-ray just to take a peak at his right lung. After the appts and school everyone spent most of the afternoon napping. For dinner some dear family friends (Kaufman's) brought possibly the best baked beans in the world along with some chicken. After a short visit, mom and dad got to bed early as the little guy hung out with grandma. Our second night went much better, with Hendrix's morning time sliding slightly in the correct direction. He felt much better and moved his feeding times back to 3-4 hours. Allowing for more sleep for both mom and dad, eh, mostly mom. :-). Tuesday I woke up to a nice suprise and had all my classes canceled! We went back to the doctor Tuesday morning to find out the results of the chest x-ray. Come to learn cooks radiology department wants to get yet another look of our boy's chest. We are scheduled for a CT Scan tomorrow morning to get a better look. The x-ray show a little Cystic Structure at the base of his lung, essentially it's nothing we didn't know, but a bit of surprise sense nothing could be seen on the sonogram back in December. The results came with a few mixed emotions. Negative at first, but found comfort quickly from our faith. Our little miracle was still intact, we hadn't lost anything, nothing had been taken away from us. We had a normal pregnancy, normal birth and only spent 30 hours in the hospital. Some of the initial alternatives were in-utero surgery, surgery immediately after birth, surgery within hours/days of birth. None of those situations happened, and like i said we have our little miracle. We still have him our little miracle and one chest x-ray can't take away the foundation of our faith, and the healing that did take place. We were re-assured by the doctor that clearly this isn't a sick child, he gained 2.5 oz in a 25 hour period and his belirubion level had hardly changed (we don't have to worry about jawndus anymore). So as I type school was canceled again and I'm looking at about 1/2 inch of ice covering the road. The high today is in the 40's so like usual it should all be gone by noon. We are looking forward to seeing some friends, but mostly spending the rest of this week getting to know each other a little bit more each day. We are both completely amazed, proud, and infatuated with our little boy.
