UPDATE Well, I'm finally back for an update...We went to Aydan's weight check Thursday the 12th. He was doing fine, He had gained weight and weighed 7lbs. 4 oz.! He had had some congestion, but no other problems, so she was going to send us for a chest x-ray. We went to leave and put him in his car seat and he starting turning "ashy." She picked him up, and immediately he was ok, but we were very worried. She wanted him to go to the hospital to be monitored, so she ended up calling an ambulance to transport us so he wouldn't have to go back in the carseat. They came, and strapped ME to the stretcher, holding him. We ended up in the hospital with him until this past Wednesday! Thankfully he is doing great and has had no more "spells." To make a long story short, he has a small chin, which makes his tongue sit back further in his mouth, which can fall back and obstruct his airway. This is something he will most likely grow out of. They did all kinds of tests (we were tansported to Chapel Hill where we stayed for 3 nights also). We have to position him just right, so he can breathe well. He has to sleep on his side. They also say he is "hypotonic." Which is a big word for floppy. They say his reflexes should be better and he should be trying to hold his head up more, but we have seen an improvement since he was born. He's only a few days over 3 weeks old!! They did lots of blood tests hoping to determine why this is. We won't get the results for awhile. He goes back to the doctor this coming Tuesday. Please pray that everything will be ok. We are so glad to be home! We are about to give him his first tub bath! I will have more pictures posted soon!
