Passed the test

Nathaniel had to visit the cardiologist for the first time Thursday (three weeks old!) since he left the hospital.
I didn't say anything to Amanda ahead of time, but I was worried about the possibility of his oxygen numbers having dropped and the doctors taking Nathaniel away from us again.

Thankfully, the worry was needless.
When he first arrived at the hospital, his oxygen numbers were in the 70s. Just before the surgery, they were in the 90s. Just after the surgery, they were in the 80s. Days after the surgery, they were back in the upper 90s when he had an oxygen tube in his nose and in the low 90s without the tube. They wouldn't release him until he held steady at 94 or better without an oxygen tube.
When they checked him out Thursday, his oxygen number was 100!
It dropped down to as low as 97, but it started at 100 -- you can't beat that.

Everything else went well, also. He had a EKG, an ultrasound, an echo-cardiogram ... and perhaps other stuff as well. The doctor said he looked fine - no trouble to report.
The news couldn't be better.
Then we took him to the pediatrician, and it looks like he's finally gaining some weight, as well.

Pretty soon, this will all be just a memory, and I'll be focused much more on his sleeping patterns and diaper changes.
I look forward to having such mundane concerns.
