We're Home!


Luke was finally discharged from Methodist Hospital today around 10 in the morning. From there we headed over to Children's Hospital to see a cardiologist and to have an echocardiogram on Luke's heart. Luke still has a PDA which is causing a heart murmur, but the cardiologist at Children's today said that he thinks there is a 90-95 percent chance that the problem will take care of itself in the next couple of weeks. We have our first appointment with our pediatrician on Thursday and we will go back to Children's for another echocardiogram in two weeks.

Besides the murmur, Luke is a very happy and healthy baby! He is eating a lot these days and is already over his birth weight at seven pounds and four ounces. His temperment is very good as he hardly made a peep during the two hour appointment at Children's.

It's great to be home! Call us if you want to come and visit!

Molly and Matt,
How is it you managed to have a sweet little baby and I swear I didn't know a thing until Charlie sent me the link to your blog? Well, that was the easiest pregnancy I've gone through! Luke is so sweet and cute. I'm thrilled for you both, for your families, and for Luke for picking such great parents. Congratulations!
Love,
Jill (as in Potts)

I was up from 1 to 4 with my kids last night, and was thinking of you the whole time...wondering if you guys were up too! :) Can't wait to hear about how the first night at home went.

We just got back from a vacation and were anxious to get news on Luke. Glad to see that he is doing well. He looks like a handsome dude.
