Whacha lookin' at boy???

Hi sweet pea

He just loves staring at mommy
He hit 6 lbs yesterday! Well actually 6 lbs 0.2 oz. The surgeon saw him and doesn't think he needs surgery...praise the Lord. He said for us to keep an eye on his testicles to make sure it does not get worse. He still thinks it is just a hydroseal and won't be harmful towards Blake. The Nephrologist came and saw him and started him on meds for his blood pressure. They just went up and doubled the dose today because it wasn't lasting long enough in his system and only worked for a couple hours. He weighed in tonight at his bath at 6 lbs. 1.2 oz. So I got a not so great phone call first thing this morning. Some of y'all already know. My dad developed a blood clot in his lungs and was admitted to the ICU there in Ohio. They are going to keep him for about a week on meds that will hopefully dissolve it so he doesn't have to have surgery. Anyway, I am asking for prayers for my dad please. Also one of my best friends dad was in a roll over accident and needs prayers too. His name is Nelson. On a better note my best friend Tiffany is finally pregnant. She announced it today to everyone. Of course I knew the day she found out, but I couldn't say anything so now that I can I am so happy for her. They have been trying for a while. As soon as her and Clint got a foster child she got pregnant...haha can we say nice timing. That is ok I know they will do great and be just fine. Blake gets his hearing test tomorrow. That is a sign that he is going to get to go home soon. He might need that caffeine back that they took him off of. He did not want to wake up all day today. Not even to eat. He just wanted to sleep. Boy needs a shot of espresso, haha. Poor thing has had awful gas...oh my goodness it is stinky. It made the nurse tonight take a step back...I started laughing and told her "I told ya so". Normally he does it just for me, but tonight he blessed her with it. They are going to move him back into Bay 5 later tonight...this morning. They discharged a lot of babies so all the ones they moved to Bay 7 are now going back to Bay 5. I feel sorry for the nurses who have to move him because he has soo much crap that goes with him. He has a bouncer, boppy pillow, clothes bag, socks bag, dirty clothes bag, mobile for his bed, tubs of medicine, and much more. Can we say spoiled? Just a little :)

I am printig off the pics and the blog and taking them to Daddy in the hospital. He is out of ICU and in an intermediate care floor. He is anxious to get well so he can come see Blake as soon as he is released. He has Blake's photo with his UT blanket up on the dry erase board in front of his bed where he can see it easily. It's his motivation to comply with the nurses and get better ASAP!

Love y'all,
Mom E.
