Kaiden goes wireless! haha...4/16/09

That's right, Kaiden finally has no more wires/tubes!


His ECHO yesterday showed his heart was looking good, the one side is still very large but we were told it may take a year or two for that to go down to normal size. They were also watching a part of the heart that looked a little funny, but seems to be staying the same size and isnt concerning to them. After Kaiden had the ECHO which they had to sedate him for, they took him off of the oxygen and we stayed for about 3 hours so that they could monitor his oxygen level to make sure it was where it needed to be without the oxygen. His numbers were excellent so mister Kaiden got to come home without oxygen! He does have it at night, but only for about another month...it definately is a big help not to have to carry that oxygen tank everywhere!! I didnt think he could get any cuter but he looks so darn cute without the tube on his face. We also met with the nutritionist, who was very impressed with Kaiden's weight gain, she dropped his calories form 27 to 24...she also is hoping that this will be a little easier on his stomach and he wont be as gassy/fussy. We'll see! :)


Kaiden also had his first day at daycare today! I was told he did very well, basically slept the whole time! ha ha so we'll see how his night goes tonight! It was so nice to have him right down the hall from me and be able to check up on him throughout the day. He's a big boy now, going to school! :) Here are just a few pics since he's had the oxygen off...there will be plenty more to come eventually...we plan on going to Rehoboth this weekend since its supposed to be so nice & will definately take some pics! Hope everyone has a great weekend, enjoy the weather!! xoxo
Love Nikki Anthony & Kaiden

Its been awhile!...4/14/09

yes, i know its been awhile since i've updated on here. We've been very busy, now that i've started back to work, which has been going very well..glad to be back! :) My mom has been keeping Kaiden for us the past few days. He has an appointment up at CHOP tomorrow for an ECHO and hopefully will be taken off of the oxygen too! That will be so exciting to finally have our little boy without any tubes at all for the very first time!! Then we go back up on Friday to meet with his nutritionist...she should be very happy with his weight gain. At our last pediatrician visit Kaiden weighed 8lbs 3oz and that was last week. He's becoming a chunky monkey & i love it! :) As of now, Kaiden will be starting daycare this Thursday. It makes me a little nervous with him being around the germs and everything, but it will be nice to have him right down the hall and hopefully he wont get sick anytime soon!! Well, im sorry this is so short but our evenings seem so busy now and its hard to fit everything we need to do in just a few hours...and also try to get some sleep too...i will update after the appointment tomorrow and hopefully ill have some new pics without any oxygen!!

Love Nikki Anthony & Kaiden
