Home Life

Archer has had a good first week at home. He takes in his required milk during the majority of his feedings, though he is still colicky often because of the uncomfortableness of his hernia. Archer will be awake for a few hours at a time, for a couple of periods during the day. He likes to sit up on his boppy, do push-ups on the floor, hang out in his rock-n-play, and play with other toys that he has been given.
Mom and Dad found that Archer sleeps better at night (without his apnea monitor going off) in his rock-n-play. He will wake a up a few times at night to eat.
Archer had his first couple of appointments this week. He met the pediatrician who was well-informed of Archer's needs. He did well during this meet-and greet and will go back to see the pediatrician when he is six months old. After this appointment, Archer had a checkup with his ophthalmologist. It was shown that Archer's eye vessels are continuing to grow in the right direction, ever since he had his eye procedures. He is not out of the woods yet as far as correct vessel growth. The vessels have not fully made it around his eye, so there is the potential of them starting to regrow in the wrong direction before they make it all the way around. Archer has another checkup in two weeks.
Archer's home life has been uneventful. He has not required any extra attention because of any health incidents. He keeps Mom and Dad on their toes and lets them know when he needs attention. Archer weighs six pounds 5 ounces.
