doctors....

i think camden has seen more doctors in his 2.5 weeks of life than i have in my 25 years... sometimes it gets really hard to see them prick his already scabbed up foot just one more time...but we know it is for the best...

cam man had a big week this week...he was circumsized on tuesday when we went to see the pediatrician...(they waited a little while with him until his platelet count went up a little so that his blood would clot properly) so good news is that his platelet count went up...bad news is that we have a pretty tender little man down there! yikes! the doctor asked if one of us wanted to go in and hold his little hand...neither of us could bare the thought of his little screams...i felt like a horrible parent sending him in all by his lonesome...but the doc put a little sugar in his mouth and the kid could have been in a car wreck and not known what hit him! :) he was zoned....he sucked on his little lips for about an hour after! note to self: sugar is like a drug for babies....today camden had another appointment with the cardiologist to review his eco cardiograms and do an ekg...pretty sure he looked like he was being plugged into the matrix haha...everything looked great! the cardiologist said she was confident everything would close on their own and that the hole that would have needed open heart surgery was so small that it wouldn't be worth the surgery (fingers crossed it closes or stays small!) we won't need to be seeing the cardiologist again until the little guy is 3 whole months old! yay!

we have two more appointments next week, a kidney ultrasound and another visit to the pediatrician....in the mean time though the doc gave us the ok to start weaning cam off of the oxygen...horray! still on it...but is off a little while during the day...and on it again at night...but we are so excited to start cutting down on his chords! :) keep up the good work camden!
