Good day for Julian

Today was a god day for Jules. His echo showed the same heart enlargement as he had before, which is the best news we could have hoped for -- he didn't get worse. He grew in terms of length (but still in the 00.00 percentile) and in terms of head circumference (20th percentile!) and although he has had a crazy weight gain pattern, his lungs don't sound wet to the nurses, so maybe it isn't water weight this time. We are hoping he is doing healthy growing and especially starting to do catch up growth in length, which is what he really needs to do to get his lungs healthier. He was awake and alert and sucked on his pacifier for the physical therapist who felt reassured that he does not yet have an oral aversion. He charmed everyone in his swing and was pretty darn cute when we visited him this afternoon. Happy New Year! Joy
