The Result
Yesterday we went to the hospital to get the results of Lachlan’s oxymetry. For the first time ever we were running late, so of course we turned up to find the doctor waiting for us. Every other time we’ve gone we’ve had to wait for around 45 minutes! Anyway, the good news is that Lachlan doesn’t need any oxygen even though his oxygen levels dipped a few times. He never dropped below 90% and for the 11 odd hours that he was asleep he was only below 94% for about 1.5 minutes. We are both so relieved, because Lachlan on oxygen would be a complete nightmare.
The rest of the Easter weekend (after the last post) was as good as the beginning. We had a lovely lunch with friends on Easter Sunday and we had other friends come by for a visit on Easter Monday. The boys were very well behaved on both occasions. Saturday night was a bit of a challenge, with about four hours of continuous attention required between 11:30pm and 3:30am. The boys were alternating in their demands, and only settled finally after a bottle and some pain relief for their gums. They’re both teething like mad at the moment, with Lachlan’s top teeth coming through, and number 8 emerging for Daniel. After we realised that they were in pain at night, we doped them up for Sunday and Monday nights and we were hardly disturbed at all.
I meant to write a post on the weekend about Easter being an anniversary of sorts for the boys, since last year I was in labour on Easter Sunday and the boys were born on Easter Monday. It was strange thinking about where we were last year and how so much has changed since then. It has been a miraculous year, but I guess the more appropriate time to reflect is when the boys birthday comes around. Only a couple of weeks to go.
