After Math

Thanks to everyone who has been praying for Connor.  His surgery went quite well.  He is all reconnected and boy is he growing fast.  He is up to 5 pounds 8 ounces and he continues to grow every day.  He has pooped a tiny tiny amount, but they are waiting for a larger "sample" before they start to feed him again.  Hopefully he will be able to catch up to full feedings fairly quickly.  In other big news, he has come off of the ventilator!  Thanks to God!  He is still on CPAP which regulates his breath and he still needs oxygen so continue to pray that those would become unnecessary as well.  Once he can come off of the CPAP (even if he needs oxygen still) he will be able to start feeding like a real baby (with a bottle)!  Then, once he can eat a full bottle without choking or passing out, he will be able to come home!  His expected due date was December 3, this is the goal for him to come home.  We are hopefully optimistic that we could have a Thanksgiving baby.  Boy would that be something to be thankful for.  Please pray for Connor's continued development.  I can't wait until he is strong enough to play with.
