Good news on Halloween for our favorite baby.
First, Daniel received his next RSV shot on Halloween. Well, not good news for Daniel, b/c it hurts, but good that these shots protect him from RSV. As always, he handled the needle like a champ. Although some tears and crying happened, it did not last long.
We also had our first meeting with our pulmonologist and Daniel is doing well, lungs are clear, and his breathing is not labored.
We are now allowed to keep Daniel off oxygen while he is awake, but must still keep oxygen on while he eats and sleeps. This is another big step in the right direction. Our next appt. with the pulmonologist is Dec. 8th.
Daniel also had a treat on Halloween, ALL 3 of our primary day nurses were working on Halloween so Daniel was able to see his “girlfriends,” Michelle, Mylene, and Regina. As always, it was so wonderful to visit with these amazing women that have helped Daniel become a strong baby.
Finally, Daniel wore 2 costumes, a Lion and Pea in the Pod.. Daniel wore both, and slept through most of the trick or treaters that came to the house. Obviously, we didn’t let any kids in the house (have to keep the germs away during RSV season) but many neighborhood kids looked through the screen door to take a peak at Daniel.
More appointments this week. First, we have Early Intervention of NJ coming to assess how Daniel is doing developmentally. They will come to our house Tuesday to assess him. Also, Friday Daniel gets another vaccination AND will go for his first visit to the Apnea clinic.
Daniel is a busy baby, no wonder he loves his sleep!
So much love to all of you and all your continued support and prayers
Enjoy the pictures!
Christine , Anthony, and DANIEL

He is just too adorable…the girls loved his pictures. Ainsley took one for her bedroom wall (Daniel should be honored…only Ian and Aunt Lynnie are up there). It was great to see him yesterday-he’s getting so big and strong and handsome. Keep up the good work Daniel!
Love,
Aunt Tracy, Uncle Kevin, Ainsley & Addison

Yay, thank you! His cuteness makes up for so many years of costumes gone wrong that Heather and I endured. Trust me!
Will be keeping his next appointment in mind with fingers crossed!

Oh!! I know how much you must love gobbling up that little face. And how wonderful to see that he is O2 free during the day. That is a HUGE improvement. Congrats to Daniel and the family. So glad to see the pix as always. Love, Courtney

And his cheeks are looking so adorable you just want to bite them! (I’m sure you guys have nibbled them enough for everyone
Glad to hear he’s still going strong and making progress every day! Dare I ask how much he weighs right now? He’s looking so much bigger with each picture…
