Two Healthy Boys

Finally, all is well in the Macdonald home. Dillon is officially off the oxygen and Parker's blood disorder scare has been put to rest.

Dillon is getting huge. He jumped from the fifth percentile in weight to the twenty-fifth in just three weeks! At 10 pounds 10 ounces and only the fourth percentile for height, he is one chunky little monkey. His cheeks remind me of Marlon Brando in the Godfather. The second oxygen test (room air challenge) went much better and we were released from the oxygen.

After a few (like three) abnormal blood tests, the hemotologist at Children's Hospital gave Parker a clean bill of health. We were concerned with a low white bloodcell count and reactive/atypical lymphocytes. What a relief it is to know that he is healthy.

I thought I had more time while the boys were asleep, but motherhood calls (well - Dillon is crying).

Enjoy the pics.
