So today was a pretty long day.\u00a0 It was off to Tacoma to see three of Greyson’s Dr’s.\u00a0 Today we saw the Nephrologist, cardiologist, and optomologist.\u00a0 In that order!\u00a0 The nephrologist is the one who works to keep Greyson’s body chemistry on track.\u00a0 He still struggles a bit with keeping his potassium where it needs to be as well as his calcium levels.\u00a0 I never took chemistry so meeting with her is always a lot to take in.\u00a0 Basically she took some urine and blood samples and we will hear back later if we need to tweak anything we are currently doing.<\/p>\n

The cardiologist said Greyson’s heart looked basically the same as it did 6 months ago, which is good.\u00a0 He still has a little thickening of the heart wall, but it is not getting worse and the Dr. felt it would get better as Greyson continues to grow and improve.\u00a0 The good news is we are decreasing one of his meds starting today and he will be off it on Valentines day.\u00a0 This is good as it is the most difficult drug to get for us (we have to go to Tacoma to get it).\u00a0<\/p>\n

The optomologist said Greyson’s eyes are developing well.\u00a0 He does have a little astigmatism but it is mild and not something we have to worry about right now.\u00a0 It could mean that Greyson will have to wear glasses but is not necessarily related to his prematurity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So that’s about it for today.\u00a0 It must have worn Greyson out as he took a good nap when we got home (he tried at the Dr’s but we kept waking him up) and has been on the vent asleep since 10 or a little earlier.\u00a0 Hopefully he will be well rested so he can play hard tomorrow!<\/p>\n

**update–spoke to soon as when I just went back to the bedroom to get the picture for today I realized Greyson is now awake.\u00a0 Doesn’t he realize how wonderful sleep is!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
