A New Day

Well, today is a new day. Weston is still making great progress. We are incredibly happy that he is doing as well as he is. Your prayers are still appreciated. He has been nursing... very slowly... but it seems to get some food in his tummy. The surgeon today was a little frustrating to be around as he still hadn't look at the results at morning rounds today.

There are a few things rolling around with the surgical staff here. 1. That Weston and mom would be going home sometime soon so that way Weston can grown, recover, and hopefully get bigger before surgery in a few months. 2. That Weston would need surgery which is scheduled for Wednesday. Both of these options carry with them risks and challenges. We are hopful for the first option as Ellie would be home with him for almost all of her maternity leave.

Right now the veins are unobstructed. Meaning that everything is registering well... its hard for him to nurse and just be alive at the same time because of their position though. So, they are taking things in stride. The nursing staff has said repeatedly that he is one of the healthier kids on the floor. YAY for that!

Mom is doing well. She was discharged today and seems to be doing quite wondefully well considering. Spending another night in a hospital bed..this time in Weston's room! We are grateful for all of you in this process! Keep the prayers coming!
