Happy New Year Everyone

Sorry about not Blog yesterday, it was a late night for all 3 of us as we all managed to wake up or stay up to watch the ball drop in NYC.
Edward is doing great, we are so amazed at how fast he is growing!!
Edward goes back to the eye doctor on Tuesday for another follow up on his eyes. We pray that his eyes continue to improve.
Tomorrow is a sad day for me, as I will be headed back to work on Tuesday :( my month vacation with my little buddy is coming to end, however Melissa is still off and we hope will remain off for the remainder of the school year, as Edward still requires more attention than your average newborn baby.

Another day

Well another day another walk , we took Edward on his 2nd walk today and when we returned home we hopped in the car with him and drove over to the NICU (don't worry we didn't go in or even get out of the car) Dr. Lipsky was working (she was the doctor on when both boys were born and was also there the day William passed) she had not seen Edward since the middle of November, so she got to see how big he was and we had a nice chat with her. One of the best things that has come out of this NICU experience is all the life long friends we have made, people that we would have never known or talked to now are part of our and Edward's life forever!

Edward takes a walk

Well we went to the doctor today and Edward is: Drum Roll Please!!!!!
Edward weighs 8 lbs 12 oz!!! Up another 9 oz in one week! Way to go!
The doctor also gave us permission to take Edward on his 1st walk outside, see the video and picture page on edwardday.com for full coverage of his 1st walk.
While you are at edwardday.com, you may want to look at the new page entitled Edward's 1st month home, I have created a video with music and pictures showing all the fun we have had during Edward's 1st month at home!
Also look for a new video tomorrow on edwardday.com entitled Edward's Journey through the NICU!!!

Everything ok with the heart

Well Edward was given a clean bill of health in terms of his heart, off to his regular doctor tomorrow (Thursday) for his weigh in and a more shots, and then and few days off before Edward heads back to the eye doctor on Tuesday and I head back to work after 1 month off :(
Boy am I going to miss Edward and Melissa when I back at work.

Good news on eyes

Well as you can read below, Edward's eyes are both showing improvement but we still have away to go before we can say we are "out of the woods".
After the doctor's appointment Edward and I watched Empire strikes back, and then Return of the Jedi. He really seemed to like them both .
Tomorrow we are off to the heart doctor for a follow up on his surgically closed PDA heart valve.

Eye update

Well the right eye finally is getting with the program, but we are not out of the woods yet, both eyes are now finally showing improvement , going back to see him in one week
