Yummy

Since James is too little to read the blog right now, I can post this picture of Mattie enjoying his lunch/facial of sweet potatoes and apple yogurt. (We are trying not to mention food or milky around James because he's not allowed to eat yet!)

We took Matthew to the nephrologist yesterday. When we first arrived, he was a bit out of sorts (probably because I had to wake him up from a nap to bring him to the appointment) -- so the initial blood pressure was on the high side. (And probably half the hospital could hear him yelling when we tried to weigh him.) We were disappointed, but when his doctor took it manually once he'd calmed down, it was right in the normal range. So, she said that we could finish out the bottle of meds that we had (which will only take another couple of days), and then have his blood pressure rechecked in a week or so. If it's normal, then he's all done with the meds (and the nephrology followups). Hooray!! Our nephrologist is awesome, but we'll be delighted to "graduate" from her practice. (And I would be thrilled to have one less reason to have to go to the hospital pharmacy.) So, keep your fingers crossed for good pressures!

Mike hadn't left the hospital since Tuesday night, so today I sent him out for lunch with Uncle Isaac, Auntie Erin, and Matthew. Mike claims he did not let Mattie try the espresso part of this dessert!
