Home Again...

We're happy to say that Matthew got to come home this afternoon. The new game plan is smaller, more frequent meals along with some increased medication to reduce the severity of his reflux. We were probably overfeeding him a little before this last trip to the hospital which contributed to his reflux problem. They had us so scared about "heart babies" not gaining weight that we might as well have put a funnel in his mouth before.

Hopefully a little better communication between us, his pediatrician and the pediatric nutrition specialist at the hospital will help us stay on track this time and keep him out of the hospital until his second surgery. He's still not a happy pooper so his Doctors also switched up his laxative to get things moving.

Otherwise, Matthew seems a lot happier now that his throat has healed and he's eating again. Amy is feeling a little better today and is happy to back to her favorite leisure activity...talking on the phone and holding her baby boy.

p.s. This picture will probably be removed after Amy sees it.
