Jayden is 7 weeks and doing great! He has been in & out of the doctor's office each week since we have been home so that they could track his progress. It took him about a month to surpass his birth weight. We learned that, as with most heart patients, he requires more calories than a normal newborn to keep up with his little ticker. As of last Wednesday (1/9), Jayden weighed 7lbs 13 ozs, therefore the doc is happy thus we are too!!!
Jayden went back to Riley on January 3rd and saw both his cardiologist and surgeon. They were both happy with the way his X-ray looked and told us he did not need to come back until mid-March. At that point they will do an echo on his heart to see how things are looking and hopefully give us a better idea of when he will be ready to undergo the first part of the Fontan.
Overall, Jayden is doing wonderful! He is keeping us entertained and on our toes at the same time! Jayden is progressing right along with the "average" newborn at this point! We could not be happier! We will continue to keep everyone updated!
Love,
Christie, Brett, & Jayden
