No More Broviac!

On June 4th I had my broviac removed! I was not fond of going in for surgery, but it is finally great that I can be a free naked baby. I can be crazy in my baths now and splash as much as I want. I can go shirtless just in time for the summer heat! One less thing for Mom and Dad to worry about too.

My days now consist of 5 breathing treatments a day for about a total of 1 1/2 hours. I also get percussion 20 minutes twice a day. I am on the go so it is hard to keep me still for my percussion. I get mad, but it gets done. I got to see Dr. Nasr on June 8th. My appointment went well. I weighed in at 21 pounds 3 ounces. I was almost 30 inches long. I was such a good boy I even wore my face mask while I waited to be called in for my exam. The receptionist gave me some Sesame Street stickers and I thought that was pretty cool. I can say some words now too. My favorites are cat, cracker, and eye. I am just learning about my belly button since the broviac was removed. I think it is cool to put my finger in it.

Mom just bought me a few new foods to try from the health food store. She bought me a coconut milk ice cream and I am not sure about it because it is cold. Mom thinks it is even better than regular ice cream. I also tried falafel today and I liked that.

My Bama Beth came to visit me yesterday. It was nice to see her. She sat in the car with me, so Mom could run into the stores quickly and get what she needed.

I think I am going to head to the community pool this weekend to go swimming for the first time!

Splashes,
Ben
