February was a busy month. Constant doctor appointments. Easton had his surgery to have his gtube placed and gallbladder removed. So far we haven't been a fan of the gtube. It seems to be causing Easton to throw up again. He is growing though, which is good. We were able to come home the day after surgery. We are starting to adjust to the tube--- cleaning to it, keeping it covered with clothing. Easton doesn't seem to be bothered by it. He has taken a step backwards on eating/drinking since surgery, but we're hoping to increase it. He also had a sleep study since he is a HORRIBLE sleeper. Wakes up multiple times an hour most nights. We will find out March 11th if there is an unknown reason for it. They did have to put him on some oxygen when he cried during the study.
We had physical therapy today. She thinks Easton had a mini stroke at some point (TIA) because his left arm is tight and he has always heavily favored his right arm. Could explain why a few months after his birth I felt like he wasn't using his left side well. We also started feeding therapy again with a new therapist.
He is walking! Not a ton, but he is so much more stable and starting to trust himself to let go. He looks adorable doing it.
Life is good. We're hoping Easton's third open heart surgery isn't for another 18 months. Cardiologist said we have 18 months to gain 10 pounds. Can't believe we're so close to the third surgery already! Cardiologist told us to enjoy the days. I always hate that, but it's true.
