3/11/07: Day 240 (Sun.) Gators Win!

Yeah! The Gators won the SEC championship. I made the mistake of forgetting to put Evan's Gator onesie on (he was wearing his UofAz one instead).

3/8/07: Day 237 (Thurs.) Day Care

We got the call today that Evan got a spot at Imagine Early Learning Center. We were starting to worry since childcare options in Sierra Vista are pretty sparse. We went down at lunchtime to pay the registration fee to reserve his spot. He'll be in the infant room, but on the side with the 6 month to 12 month olds. There are eight other babies on his side with 4 teachers, so he'll be getting plenty of attention.

He won't start until 19th when his spot opens up.

3/7/07: Day 236 (Wed.) Test Completed

We ran Evan's pulse oximeter test last night. We couldn't get a steady good reading on it trying both his foot and his hand. We ended up leaving it on his foot and wrapped it on there tight to try to get the highest reading possible. We had to leave it on for at least 4 hours. I ended up taking it off around 4am, so there was at least 6 hours of testing. The best reading we could get was around 94%.

I returned the pulse oximeter to Apria and the nurse said the doctor would be in touch if they needed us to do another test to get a better reading. She told me the doctors like to see readings in the higher 90's, so we'll wait and see.

3/6/07: Day 235 (Tues.) Testing tonight

Tonight we have to put the pulse-oximeter on Evan for at least 4 hours to get a good saturation reading. Hopefully the last step so we can turn in all the oxygen equipment back to Apria!

2/27/07: Day 228 (Tues.) Visiting the Tucson Doc again

Evan had a follow-up appointment in Tucson with the Pediatric Pulmunologists. We met with Dr. Daynes (the same doctor he saw the last time). Evan got a clean bill of health from her (he lungs sounded perfect to her). One last hurdle to jump over to finally be done with all the home oxygen equipment. Dr. Daynes wants Apria (the home oxygen company) to do an overnight pulse-oximeter test on him to make sure his nighttime oxygen saturation is good. We're waiting for the call from Apria to get it set up. Dr. Daynes said Evan doesn't have to come back for about 6 months. We anticipate having to do a few follow-on appointments as he gets older to make sure he doesn't have any asthma/allergy issues.

My good friend Dolores snapped this picture of Evan when we were visiting at her house. His hair isn't as red in real life as it looks in the picture. It must have been the flash.
