7 Months!

7 months old!

Really? Seven months old already? No way! Well I will say today Mr. Eli was not his usual charming happy self. I'd love to blame it on the full moon or teething but I think it was a lack of stimulation. He had three days of people constantly around and noise a plenty.

Friday morning I woke up at 4:09am due to the carbon monoxide detector beeping. It wasn't beeping like it was an emergency but more of a dying battery. Thanks, it's not like I didn't have to wake up at 4:30 anyways. I got out of bed and went into the hallway and gave that thing a good stare down and said a few choice words at it. What do you know, it doesn't have the nerve to beep again or ever since then. Ugh!

In Recovery

Five thirty in the morning we are on our jolly way to Hope Hospital for Eli's cardiac cathertization. We've been through this before but now we were more than likely facing the placement of a stent. The procedure started and around 9:40am we got the update that they needed to place a stent and it would be about another 45 minutes before we got to see Eli.  At about the 35 minute mark we got another update that they needed to place a second stent because the area was longer than one stent could support. I was not very surprised by this because we knew back in September it was a rather long area of compression. The procedure went well and his only marks are slightly larger than an IV mark, one in his groin and one on his neck on his right side.
 
  We spent the night with him at the hospital and I must say that was not fun at all. I don't do well with noise at night so Thank God I had a pair of ear plugs in my bag, talk about a lifesaver. Before bed I checked on Eli's gums and found that one tooth came out. I originally thought it was two but the second one has yet to come out. I'm so proud of my big boy!

Tonight for his seven month "birthday" he got to try peaches for the first time. Yummy!
