We drove back down to Salt Lake City to do follow up exams with the surgeons and redo Bryant's hearing test since he failed the first one on the left ear.

The hearing test was interesting. Bryant passed on his left ear with flying colors, but failed on his right ear. The audiologist doing the test thought Bryant might have fluid in his ear and we should follow up with our pediatrician when we get home.

We then met with Dr. Rollins for our surgical follow up. He weighed Bryant and he is up to 9 3/4 pounds. We are very proud. Dr. Rollins thought he was doing good. He took his heart rate and other vitals. I started thinking "I hope we didn't drive all the way down here for a 10 minute meeting of heart rates, and temprature." But Dr. Rollins ordered a chest x ray and another Esophogram. So the trip wasn't a waste of time. Everything looked good but we need to hear back from Dr. Rollins with specifics. We also ran into one of our favorite nurses in the NICU, Melissa. She let us in to say hi to some of the staff. We weren't sure if that was allowed. But we got to see our development therapist, LeAnne, and Kathie Neff.

We spent some good times with my dad and the rest of the family. Always in for some good laughs with the Martin clan. We can't take anything seriously. They spoiled the kids (just seems weird to say after having one for so long).

We stopped off at Jen's folks place on the way back. We had a terrific roast and mashed potatoes. Watched a fantastic movie, August Rush. Good movie. The time really flew and it was Sunday morning already, and time to go. Next we will go fishing. I promise.

Monday morning was a first for Bryant. His first day at daycare, and Jen's first day back at work. She only got 3 weeks at home with Bryant. She got cheated out of time with Bryant, but he has managed to give mama the googley eyes whenever she walks into a room. He adores his mother and sister. Dad is ok, but he is more of a ladies man.

His first day at daycare was good. He ate, slept, and pooped. Not in that order, but you get the idea.

We did have a follow up for his hearing. Our Dr. was out of the office so we got a different Dr. It was close to 5pm and she just kind of brushed through our appointment. She looked at his ears and didn't really say anything. She just told us to follow up with the Ears, Nose, and Throat doctors in a couple of weeks. Not all that thrilled with her.
