I went to see my pediatrician, Dr. K today. He is pleased with my weight gain, and  I don't think he has any major concerns at this time. We will do a lot of checking in the next few years to make sure I am where I should be. So far, so good.

6 lbs. 11 oz.

Today I saw my Pediatrician for the first time. I call him Dr. K. He is very nice. Mommy and Daddy also like him. Dr. K will be seeing me once a week for a while, just to make sure everything is going well.

I enjoyed my first day home, and my car ride to see Dr. K.

I am doing well. I hope to be off oxygen within a few months. I'll need to work hard to get there, but I'll try.

The above picture is me at home.

I'm ready for my ride home.

I'm holding Mommy's hair, in case she tries to leave without me.
