ENJOYING LIFE!

Little man is doing so good! He is doing a little better each day, we are so proud of him. Last week we had a little scare, Amanda gave him his meds a few minutes early and went upstairs. I was in sitting with him and his med alarm went off so I gave him his meds...again. As I was heading out the door to go mop some floors at the church I told Amanda not to worry about his meds, I had taken care of it (just trying to be useful :)) Needless to say we were on the phone with poison control right away, they told Amanda that because he had a blood pressure med and a heart med that he needed to be taken to the ER immediately! AHH! They told us to get him to the nearest one and that they would "stabilize" him and transport him to Primary's. Not what we wanted to hear. So we got in the car and started driving and trying every way we could to get a hold of someone at Primary's for a 2nd opinion. We were able to get a hold of the Gardner’s, the parents of the Teagan, who were still down there. They got their nurse who gave us the pager number of one of the cardio nurses - called that number and she quickly called us back. She was standing next to one of the cardio docs, so we told them what had happened and they said that they though he would be fine but to bring him down there to monitor his blood pressure. We were so relieved to hear that, so we took him down where they monitored him for a hour and released us. They actually told us that he was on a low enough dose that is could have been doubled if needed - we kind of chuckled, that would have been nice to know! But I was so proud of Amanda, she was so calm and collected through it, what a mom.

He loves sitting up, and he loves his girlfriend Loren! He is holding his head up really good and loves sitting up with a little help
