Manny is home and Dr. updates

Manny came home from the hospital yesterday, thank goodness!! He is back to acting just like his old self and it's good to see. He has to do nebulizer treatments every 3 hours and also has 2 other meds. We are doing the best we can to keep him away from Julian. It's a good thing there are so many helping hands to keep Manny occupied or help with feeding Julian.

We had an appointment for Julian with his doctor today. He weighed in at 8 lbs and 12 oz. They measured him 21 inches and I saw it so I believe it; I don't think he grew an inch in 4 days (hospital said he was 20 in). He has long chicken legs. Even with him being 8 lbs, almost 9, he still looks so small to me.

We were supposed to take Manny to the doctor tomorrow for a checkup and being that they are calling for bad weather we were able to get him in today while we were going. His oxygen level was 94/95% and his pulse and heart rate were better. I have to continue treatments and bring him back in a week. He has to have another chest x-ray at the end of next week to see how his lung is looking. It will be a long week for me next week trying to keep them separated all by myself.
