Heart Doctor

Parker went to the cardiologist today for his check up. He was a very good boy. First we got his vitals. The chubbo now weighs 11 pounds 10.5 ounces and is 22.5 inches long. Good lordy this boy is growing like a weed. Dr. Van Hare said that Parker's heart is looking good and that his stenosis is very mild. We just need to continue to monitor it as he grows to make sure the pulmonary valve grows at the same rate as the heart so that the heart does not become enlarged. He will have a follow-up with Dr. Van Hare when he is six months old.
I went in to get him one morning and he had managed to get his hand out of the swaddle. I thought it was cute, so took a picture
This picture was taken on Tuesday, his six week old birthday.
