Oct 9th / Weekend update...

Well the little guy had a great weekend. He is looking great and is at 1 pound and 15 ounces for his weight. On Saturday they had to do a small emergency procedure. From the drain he has in his tummy some of his bowel started to poke thru from him being so active. So they had to sedate him and put a stitch in and so far so good there. I was a little nervous having him sedated again but he handled it well and is back to opening his eyes when Brad and I talk to him and moving around a little more. Today I was just in his room and a team of 6 surgeons came in to check on his tummy they decided spur of the moment to take out the drain in his tummy. They thought it looked good so I watched them while they did that. He only dropped his heartrate at the beginning and he handled it very well. He kept putting his hand up on the surgeons hand as if to say, "that is enough already."!! So he is down on his oxygen and vent settings which is great. He is still going potty a good amount which is good too. They thought this morning that they were going to have to put in that Central Line but this afternoon they decided that he is doing good so they are going to leave him alone for now and not do it. But it is always an option if need be tomorrow or in a couple days/ weeks from now. So we are maintaining which is what we like. He is such a fighter and really is trying hard to get himself better you can tell that just by looking at him. He is a sweetie and we are so proud of him and his strength. It is amazing how much you can learn from a little guy who is so small yet has such an amazing strength about him!!!
