Still home!

Bridger had an appointment with his cardiologist yesterday, and so far everything looks good. They did not do an echo yet, but we go back in two weeks and they will decide then when the next echo will be. Since we have been home Bridger seems to be doing his best to catch up on all of the sleep he lost while at the hospital, he takes good long naps during the day. He has decided that he hates the taste of his formula, so I guess we will just work on his strength and move on to baby food. Bridger and the boys are getting along great, he likes to play with Brasko's tail & loves to watch Loki run around. For now we have no big plans, just to enjoy being home.

WE ARE HOME AGAIN! HOPEFULLY FOR LONGER THIS TIME.

Bridger was discharged from the hospital yesterday afternoon. We got home just before 4pm and started to settle in. We are all hoping that he doesn't have to go back to Primary's for more than his checkups and blood draws for quite some time. He still can't be around crowds or children for quite a while due to the risk of him catching something, so again we will be laying low for a while. I will keep posting on Bridger's progress while we are home. Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers. We love you!

The Echo

The Echo that Bridger had yesterday had better results than last week. Our cardiologist reviewed all of Bridger's echos & didn't think that last weeks was that different, it just happened to be the timing of his heart contractions that made the heart function look worse than it is. That's good to hear. On the right side of his heart there are increased pressures, whether this is from all of the work it had been doing or the fact that the other issues are settling & this one is more noticeable now we don't know, but our doctor will keep an eye on it for now.

My SWEET boy!

Bridger has decided that he likes this whole eating thing. It is strange having to adjust to a hungry cry again, I never really thought that he would ever take a bottle again. But now he loves it, he just doesn't always have the strength for it after months of not eating, though he sure is building it up. No changes really today, we are just hanging out waiting to see if this new medicine can help his heart and he will have another echo on Monday, so I will let you know.

The Echo

Bridger had his echo done yesterday, which said that his heart function went from 59% down to 17%- we were not happy about this. However, in speaking with the cardiologist and the intesivest, they agree that yes his heart function is decreased, but maybe not as much as the numbers are saying. So they increased one of Bridger's heart medications and started another heart med and we will give it a few days and then maybe re-echo at the begining of next week. So not exactly what we want to hear, but hopefully a little better than the numbers show.
