4 Days Till Surgery

As far as I know the fundo/gtube surgery is still happening on December 1st. His hematocrit level has come up from 25 to 26! But, they would like it 30 or higher so we are still looking at possibly getting a transfusion before surgery.

Memphis has been off of methadone completely since last Friday. The last dose given was on Thursday at 8am. Due to this, Saturday was a rough night for Memphis as well as Sunday day. Generally Memphis sleeps through the night, but I came in Sunday morning to hear that he was up all night and very fussy. Sunday he was also awake all day and not super happy about it.

Sunday the WHOLE family got to take a field trip to the Children's Hospital lobby to see all the Christmas trees. This was Memphis' first time out of the NICU unit aside from going to surgery. Memphis, Rowan, and Braden Absolutely loved this. It was great for Rowan and Braden to see their baby brother healthy enough to be able to do this.

We are spending this week focusing on Memphis getting ready for surgery
