Just a quick update. Yesterday and again this morning the docs and nurses heard a heart murmur. They reassured us that it not something to worry about at this stage, and is in fact quite normal. They performed an ultrasound on his heart to see what’s going on and we’ll await the results of that this week. At the moment, we believe this to be an “innocent murmur” that will resolve itself over time.
Oh, and Jacob was treated to a new stocking cap. Apparently, some gracious volunteers knit caps and booties for preemies. This cap is beautifully made, with obvious care, and is so small. Yet, when placed on his tiny head, it looks like a mix between a U.N. military helmet and that kid from the Fat Albert gang with his hat pulled down over his eyes. Anyway, it’s cute, and we really appreciate the kindness of others.
