Sorry I've been slacking a little on the blog. We've been busy busy! Where to start? Well, an update on Jarrett's breathing condition. We had a sleep study and a swallow test last week. The sleep study was a rough one. Jarrett (nor mommy) didn't like all the electrodes that he had to be hooked up to all night, so needless to say, he only slept 4 hours the entire night. However, he did great with his swallow test! He was such a happy boy for having gone through the sleep study the night before. The sleep study did show that at one point during the night, his oxygen level dropped to 77%, but only for 1 1/2 min. He also had 4 apnea spells, but he didn't stop breathing. Due to his Laryngomalacia, it was difficult for him to get air in during those 4 spells; however, the doctor reassured us that it was normal. His swallow test showed that with breast milk and formual, he was aspirating a bit, so now Jarrett has to have his milk at the consistency of honey. The good thing about the honey thick milk, he has decided to sleep all night!!!!!!!!! Yah! Finally!
Jarrett has also been learning new things everyday. He is sitting up all by himself now, and is thinking about crawling (or at least moving around). He doesn't like being on his stomach. We think he may just skip crawling and head straight for walking. He has a little jumpy thing that he loves to sit it (or should I say jump in). He is a crazy man in it, I will have to try to get a video of it. He has no started shaking his head "yes" and "no". Of course, he doesn't really know what it means, but it is hysterical.
Yesterday at the doctor, Jarrett weighed in at an impressive 17 lbs. 5oz. and he is 27 1/4 in. long. We might have a future linebacker on our hands!!!
