Connor is Home Today

Today Connor turned 3 weeks old and got to go home early from the hospital.

Awake

Funny what a few days make with Connor. He's out of level 3 care to level 2. They are just waiting for a bed in Abbotsford and he can be moved to a normal hospital, out of Children's Hospital. Scary though, as they have excellent care here.

Connor Update

Hi everyone!!
This is the first time I have internet, Lexi is sleeping, I am not at the hospital and I am still awake!!
As you know Connor has arrived and is doing better then thought.
His head is not as big as they had thought and so far nothing else seems to be "wrong".
He is breathing too fast and shallow so they had to intibate him for one night. They also put some kind of med's in his lungs at this time.
He seems to be breathing better most of the time.
The Dr's are not as concerned about his shunt operation right now because his head has not grown at all since he was born.
They will hold off the operation until his breathing improves.
Mandy held him for the first time yesterday.
Mandy was released today and is bunking with Roy, Lexi and me at our RV. (Chris is also here when he is able)
We are at a RV park in Burnaby. The same one that we where at last year April.
Please continue to pray for Connor's breathing.
Once his breathing improves they will do the shunt operation and he will be able to go home soon afterwards.

Lexi found a few entertaining things at the hospital.

But the most entertaining thing was the suitcase back at the RV.

New Grandson

Today Sept 9th (09/09/09) we got a new Grandson. Connor Bryce. He missed the time 09:09:09 but came around 11 am. He was 6 weeks early and 6 lbs, 8 oz. and 19.69 inches long for all the women who want to know every detail that men don't know. Tomorrow he has an MRI. This makes grandchild #6.
