Drew had an echo cardiogram yesterday with some positive results. Turns out that his heart is structurally sound and not enlarged, like they thought. So any problems they noticed should be taken care of as his heart continues to grow and develop.
This morning we talked to the doctor and he expressed a little bit of concern over the length of time it took to resuscitate him. His APGAR scores (healthiness on a 0-10 scale, 10 being perfectly healthy, as I sure you already know) at one minute was a 7, at five minutes was a 1, at ten minutes was a 2, and at fifteen minutes was a 7 again. So the doctor might go ahead and order a cat scan today just to make sure that there wasn't any damage done by the 10 mins that it took to resuscitate.
Other than that, we are dealing with the typical newborn isses (i.e., breastfeeding, etc).
They are going to release Sarah from the hospital tomorrow, and it sounds like the baby will likely be here for a few more days as they continue to monitor him.
