A Son Named Boy
Hello to everyone.
I forgot to mention Xavier's weight yesterday. He has not been weighed since Friday night, so yesterday at the pediatrician was his first weighing in two days. He came out at 4 pounds, 2.4 ounces. Wow! Dr. LeBlanche cautioned us that the scale used is different than those in the NICU. Still, that's not dampening our excitement.
We had more sleep last night than the day before. Rebecca sent me to bed at 11:00 PM. I woke at 4:00 AM and spelled her to sleep several hours.
We spent the day making appointments and chasing down the source of a very annoying insurance problem. Somewhere, someone has Xavier named "Boy". So, we keep getting bills and payments denied for Boy Ogden because no one can find a record for him. I told Rebecca Sunday we need to change her name to Jane and mine to Tarzan. Today, we learned that this is not an uncommon problem. It appears it will take another week for this problem to get corrected.
Xavier slept most of the day in his crib. In the afternoon, after his feeding and a reading of "Green Eggs and Ham", he lay wide awake, quietly watching the dangling dinosaurs on his mobile (The pterodactyl is mom's favorite critter). Eventually, and with resistance, he gave way to sleep.
Always, we thank you for your prayers.
