Doing well!

Jayden had his follow-up at Riley with his surgeon last Wednesday. As you can see from the picture, Jayden was not very happy about the check-up! During the check-up, we had an X-ray done along with the routine physical exam. Dr. Turrentine informed us that Jayden's X-ray looked wonderful as he didn't see any excess fluid around the heart. He was also happy with the healing of Jayden's chest incision. Dr. Turrentine also cut back on the million medications that Jayden had been on since surgery. We will have a follow-up with his cardiologist on November 10 where he will most likely have an echocardiogram done to check on Jayden's blood flow and pressure.

Since our last post, Jayden's energy level has continued to increase. He has since shown a lot of interest in moving around. He is a rolling, spinning, and scooting machine! Jayden has also learned how to let us know exactly how he feels whether it be by laughing, hugging/kissing, or screaming. In doing so, he has informed us that he is no longer very interested in eating off a spoon. He wants to do it all himself, which we are finding is a VERY messy situation. The 3 of us are having a lot of fun as we continue to learn something new everyday!

We hope this finds you all happy and healthy! We will continue to keep you updated.
With Love,
Christie, Brett, & Jayden
