Note: Jacob Raymond Walker was born 12 weeks prematurely at Duke University Hospital the morning of Monday, May 19 2008. The following are updates, notes, & observations on his growth & development.
Its been a tough week for me as I'm away from home for the first time since Jake's been out of the hospital. Of course that's easy to say considering I left Kristin alone with the Cubby for the week while I've temporarily returned to the land of uninterrupted sleep.
I left on Monday morning & hopefully I start heading back towards home around 12 hours from now. Even though I expected to miss him dearly I'm still surprised how often I think about the little guy or flip through his pictures on my phone. It'll be great to see him & K again but I'll have to share--his aunt Jennifer is flying into town for the weekend to check him out for the first time out of the hospital.
Which isn't to say that he doesn't return from time to time. Kristin & Jake made a trip back to Duke for a visit to his kidney doctors yesterday. In short, they were pleased with his blood pressure & even took him off of his diuretics. He goes back in a month for another check & they still believe he'll grow out of the high blood pressure. By the way, Jake is now over the 7 pound mark; pretty exciting stuff....
Of course while the week has been challenging for the family its meant good things for the blog. This post is the second entry of the week; a feat unheard of around here for quite awhile. Not to mention the previous post included video with the regular photos which was a first. Speaking of pictures, I like to call this series "Snooze Buddies:"
