Overly concerned?
Nathaniel will be visiting the cardiogist Thursday. Everything seems to be going great ... but of course it all seemed to be going great before we found out there was a problem back when he was born (getting close to four months ago now!).
I don't expect there to be any trouble, but it's still a little nerve-wracking.
Even with everything going so well, Amanda and I still recall our feelings from February very easily and unexpectedly. Amanda said she was driving to a grocery store Saturday when a helicopter was landing at Virtua, and everything flooded back about Nathaniel being scheduled for a flight to Delaware. We see commercials for Virtua or just TV shows that involve hospitals, and we remember how powerless we felt.
But then Nathaniel starts crying, and we think of how we said to ourselves while we were in Delaware that we'd be so happy to hear him cry (because he wasn't doing enough of that at first). Or we feed him, and he lets out a tremendous belch, and we laugh about what a little boy we have.
The whole thing is still a roller coaster. And we love it.
(Pictures for this week coming soon.)

I understand your apprehension about the cardiologist visit. As coincidence would have it, our daughter was in the CICU and cardiac unit at the same Children's hospital in DE at the same time that your family was (although unfortunately, we were there for much longer - 7 weeks). Even though our daughter has been home for over 2 months, and we are thrilled, I still have a flood of emotions that is triggered by similar things as you and your wife. We have been following your blog since my Mom saw your first article in the paper. We are glad to read that everything is going so well with you son - he is adorable!
