Jasper is 3 months old now and doing great. He found his hands so he has them in his mouth constantly. He can hold his head up all by himself and is starting to roll over, or at least he is attempting. He is a full 11 pounds now almost double than he was at birth.
He went in on Friday March 9th to have a Cardiac catheterization done (involves passing a thin flexible tube (catheter)
into the right or left side of the heart, usually from the groin or the
arm) he did good with the procedure and it only took them about a hour. After wards in the NICU he was not a happy baby. He was crying a lot and in a lot of pain. I held him trying to get him to fall a sleep but the pain was just to much. They gave him morphine and that seemed to help after 20 min. He finally fell a sleep. Me and my husband went back home and Jasper stayed the night. We went to pick him up today and we couldn't bring him home because he has a rough night. His oxygen saturation wasn't high enough and through out the night they has to give him a blood transfusion. They where able to stop all the medication he was on and the transfusion helped getting his oxygen level back up. So they are keeping him one more night to make sure he is ok and then he can finally come home tomorrow.
I hate leaving him there all alone in that big room. I couldn't stop crying and I just want my baby back. But I know God is keeping an eye on him but I would feel a lot better when he is home. I miss him, feels like a part of me is missing.
