Today has been a quiet day. I have worked on chores for most of the day. I am taking a break to hold Mr. Graysen for a while. He is a very social baby and loves to be held and talked to. Lee came home for lunch, which was a nice treat for Caleb and I. He brought home sushi for us, so it was a very good lunch. Caleb had cheese, crackers, milk, and Hot Wheel fruit snacks since he appears to be a vegetarian. It is a rare occasion when we can get him to eat any meat.
We had a very relaxing weekend. Graysen has been in a good mood lately. He smiles a lot. Caleb spent all of today playing with cars, of course. I am such a sucker for Matchbox cars. I think that I like them just as much as Caleb. (Well, no one likes cars as much as Caleb. I like Matchbox because they are miniature versions of real models. I do not like Hot Wheels.) Thankfully Matchbox cars are only $0.97 each since we seem to pick up one every time that we are out. However, Caleb and I did not buy one when we went to Wal-Mart today. He received 5 yesterday, so I figured that was enough for the weekend. We have looked on Matchbox's website and unfortunately they do not make a Sienna mini van. Maybe next year.
Caleb was in the mood for a photo shoot last night. He brought the camera to Lee and asked him to take pictures. These are a few of the pictures that Lee took.
Here are some pictures from our visit to Emily's house today. Both of the kids had fun, as always. Graysen slept for most of the visit. It was a nice afternoon.
Graysen is tired after a morning at the pediatric cardiologist. It was an in depth visit. They did an echocardiogram on Graysen and the doctor did an exam. Graysen looks great. The only concern (on going) is his lungs. His blood oxygen level was 95%. This is too high. A normal person's BOL is 100%, but since Graysen is a "mixer," his level is expected to be around 82.5%. A reading of 82.5% for Graysen would mean that half of his blood goes to his lungs and the other half goes to the body. Since Graysen's level is so high, it means that double the amount of blood goes to the lungs than goes to the body. This is flooding his lungs. The doctor is concerned, but there is nothing that can be done until his next surgery. We go back to the doctor next week for another round of chest x-rays and a visit with the cardiologist. The doctor is debating putting Graysen back on lasixs to reduce the amount of fluid in his body. He will make the determination next week after looking at the chest x-ray which will tell him more about the condition of Graysen's lungs.
