Alex is back at home again!

Alex returned home again yesterday. He was fever free, so they sent him home. I was supposed to stay at the hospital with him on Wednesday, but I got the stomach flu and so Eric came down to the hospital after taking Evan to swimming lessons and Bob stayed with him so I could head home and rest. Evan ended up getting the stomach flu later that night followed by Eric. Evan recovered pretty quickly, but Eric is still not feeling back to normal yet today. Eric thinks that Alex started it all! It is wonderful to be out of the hospital and back at home!
This picture was taken before Alex went back to the hospital. Evan is pointing to Alex's "owie". He is very gentle with him and gives him hugs.

Back to normal eating dinner together. This was taken Monday before Alex went back to the hospital.

Alex back to normal!

He's not rolling over back to his belly yet, but he is going to his side.

He was having some fun in the exersaucer last night!

This was Alex this morning having fun on his mat!

Alex is just taking Lasix once a day to reduce fluid. The only real restriction with his care is that we cannot lift him under his arms. This is a big adjustment, because that is how you typically lift a baby his age. They say that will last about 6 weeks.
