Update


More good news today! Graham got his IV taken out. Not only does that mean one less cord to worry about, but that means he is getting enough fluids (breast milk) to sustain himself! YEAH! Also, the reductions on the omphalocele are going really well. This morning the doctors could manipulate it more which means his liver is going back in to his abdomen a little more and more everyday. Dr. West should know Tuesday when the surgery will be. We've had such a good day! We have a good little routine going...Daddy takes Graham's temperature and changes his diaper (yes, even the dirty ones) before each feeding and then makes sure Mommy and Graham are all settled in for meal time. After Graham eats he's usually pretty alert, the perfect time for quality time with Dad. Bill will take a book in and hold Graham for an hour.
