He's getting better - puffy, but better

Well it was a pretty good weekend for Aaron. Saturday when we got there he was pretty wide awake. He is very puffy right now because he has a lot of fluid pumping through him. He was not peeing yesterday which was contributing to the puffiness. Today they got him peeing again and they think by tomorrow or so they will start getting LESS puffy. Last night Aaron decided to surprise us - we went for a walk and came back to find the doctor and nurse around his bed. Turns out that his Broviac (also known as a central line) was clogged up. We THOUGHT we were going to be getting ready to leave and it turns out they had to call in the surgeon again - that was at 5:00. We had to stay to meet the surgeon and sign the paperwork. He got there a little after 7:00, they got started closer to 8:00 and had it taken care of around 9:00 - WE had not even eaten dinner then. We have learned now to NEVER make plans (our plan was to leave the hospital and be home to eat dinner - which is why we did not have dinner with us). Anyway, he has it in now and he is feeling MUCH better today. Now for the less puffy - and we can't wait for him to start eating!

Puffy or not, he's a beautiful baby. Get used to your "plans" not working out - he's in charge now!

Thanks for letting Grandma Pam visit today.

Love you guys!
