More good news . . .

This past Wednesday, we had our appointment with the surgeon, Dr. Davalos, who did Nathan's surgery when Nathan was just two days old. Dr. Davalos gave us a good report on Nathan after examining him, saying that he's doing very well.

His recommendation for Nathan's oxygen situation was that we take a week's vacation and go to the beach where we'd be at sea level (rather than at 9,300 ft. altitude here in Quito). . . we thought that was a pretty great idea (but unfortunately not possible right now). And I was kind of hoping that he could write out a prescription for this and then maybe our insurance would cover it (yea, right, in our dreams!).

He also told us that the fact that Nathan's saturation level is now where it should be is a good indicator that he should be coming off the oxygen soon. We shall see . . . .

And so tomorrow, we have our two-month appointment with Nathan's pediatrician. It will be good to sit down and talk with him about the reports from the doctors (the cardiologist and surgeon) and figure out a plan of action based on the reports.

And it's time for several routine vaccinations for Nathan! I'll be closing my eyes when they stick him with the needle!

And on Tuesday, Nathan will be two months old! He's come a long way in two months! Praise God for His goodness, grace and mercy to us.

Goodnight and goodbye from all of us!
