Taking it Easy

We saw Connor right away this morning and visited with his Doctor. Connor will still have the epidural today and tomorrow more than likely. He also had a little dose of morphine last night, but the doctor doesn't expect him to need any more of that. He did also pass a little stool last night, so that was great news! Today's prescription for Connor is basically rest and relaxation. He had a big day yesterday and one good day of recovering will make a world of difference. Hopefully tomorrow they will remove the tube in his nose to his stomach and see if he can pass the gases in his tummy out the 'right' way on his own. The goal would be to try and start feeding him Thursday or Friday, we're hoping for Thursday as that would hopefully keep us on track for coming home on Saturday, providing everything works out. We obviously want to leave the hospital 100% confident and comfortable with his eating and pooping :) So, today will be a pretty uneventful day (I think we all deserve one of those).

All sprawled out...and drugged up.

So glad to hear all went well...I've been without internet for a couple of days since we're moving (down the street) and was missing reading the blog updates!!! What an awesome praise that the pull-through was possible! Hopefully, you're in the home stretch now and will be on your way HOME soon. Much love to all of you,

Very cute heading change to your blog. Love the picture of Connor all sprawled out...he looks very comfy and content. If only it was that easy for adults! Hoping for a speedy recovery and news on a really messy diaper!
