8 weeks old!

Chillaxin with mamma
Do I look puffy to you? Oh my!

Baby Lucas is now 8 weeks old today! Yay! Its been a long and trying two months, but my little man is growing and doing way better than we ever expected. Everyone's prayers and best wishes have worked there magic thus far and warmed our hearts. We appreciate them all! Lucas has been having more and more episodes it seems with his heart rate dropping and with his heart rate staying high above the 180s. The doctors have given him caffeine to help and are watching him closely but don't seem overly concerned. My biggest concern today is Lucas's sudden weight gain and his puffiness. He's so swollen today and gained 100 grams. This puts him at 3 lbs 1 oz which is a very significant gain and almost certainly mostly water weight. I'm hoping they put him on a different or higher dose of the diuretic so he can lose some of the water and go back to looking like a non- state puff marshmallow baby :)

But holding him was really fun today!!!!
