Connor had a good night last night, from what the nurse told us. Bryan spoke with Dr. Hoekstra and he said that they will be removing the epidural and catheter at noon today. Then they will continue to monitor his bowels. The doctor said they MIGHT start trying to feed him later today or this evening, otherwise tomorrow for sure, unless his bowels aren't sounding right. Once they start feeding him, they'll make sure he can handle eating every 3 hours for a 24 hour period, along with the appropriate amount of dirty diapers, and then he could come home! Doctor said maybe even by Friday afternoon, otherwise Saturday!!
When Bryan and I were in there with him just now, he woke up when we started talking to him and was pretty alert while we were updating him on everything that was going on, so nice to see his eyes again, it had been awhile! We are itching to hold him SO bad, hopefully this afternoon once his catheter and epidural are gone we can.
We'll update again after the epidural and catheter are removed.

Way to go Connor!! What a first week of life! You have gone through so much and are doing so well, keep up the good work! We'll be praying for you to start eating and pooping so your mom and dad can take you home and cuddle with you all they want:)
Lots of Love! Missy Bode
