We met with Jereth's cardiologist, Dr. Eloisa Walker, in Boise today. She is quite pleased with his progress. He is looking healthier and gaining weight. His incision has healed very nicely although the chest bone is healing with an upward ridge (she had a special medical name for it, but I can't remember what is was) that is not uncommon and should not cause problems.

Mom's First Day Back at Work
Yesterday was my first day back at work since Jereth was born. It was harder on me than on Jereth since he had both Dad and big brother, Spencer, taking care of him. He seemed to handle the transition very well.
Doctors' Visits
Today was spent with doctors. We first went to see Dr. Eloisa Walker, the pediatric cardiologist. Jereth is looking much better than when he went to the hospital a week and a half ago and has reached the milestone of weighing more than he did at birth. She ordered a test to check his thyroid functioning as well as an electrocardiogram (EKG). We'll know the results next time we see her, on December 10th.

We have an amazing family doctor. Dr. Mumford is a very caring and dedicated doctor. We really appreciate knowing he is watching out for our precious Jereth.
Saturday he sought us out at a church function to discuss options to help Jereth gain weight; Jereth still has not returned to his birth weight. On Sunday he again came to find us at Stake Conference, another larger church meeting, to give us instructions for supplementing Jereth's feedings.
Yesterday he called to see how things are going with the supplemental feeds and to see if we had been contacted by the pediatric cardiologist. His dedication and support is helping make this difficult time a little easier. It's very nice to know he really cares.
