Liam may be coming home in 1-2 weeks. We've heard that before, but Liam's doctor has figured out that his spells, where his blood oxygen drops dangerously low, seem to not be related to his heart. Most likely, the problem is sleep apnea or a similar disorder. This is actually good news, as it means his heart isn't causing these spells; in fact, Liam's heart rate is excellent despite his Tetralogy of Fallot.
This past week, Liam and Zefram got to meet for the first time in about a month. Liam slept right through it, and Zef was too busy fussing to care, but it was still pretty cool. Liam has been awake for our last few visits, and so we've been able to see his eyes, again for the first time in about a month (he's always sleeping when we visit, and we don't want to wake him).
I just called the NICU, and Liam's weight is up to 7 lbs! I did a rough weighing of Zefram today, and he's around 10 lbs. Woohoo!
Zefram's still quite fussy, but things could definitely be worse. He's smiling more often, which is an incredible thrill. I'll upload a video of him shortly (and by shortly, I mean before his third birthday).
