Update...

Conner is staying busy...going for rides
watching football with Dad....
and soaking in the tub....
Conner is working on getting better. His lungs are still very "junky" and he needs oxygen when he sleeps. The last few days have been tough on him. He cries often and is not very consolable. The nurses kept saying it was too far out from surgery for him to feel pain from his sternum. He has been throwing up lately, yesterday every feed. We knew he would revert back and start doing this again because of his palate issue. Because of this we started him on reglan early. His gag reflex is very sensitive though and the reglan hasn't helped much. We started him on some medication for reflux thinking maybe that is why he is in pain. The medicine takes a few days to start working so last night they started him on oxycodone. He has been much happier and has been sleeping better. The Docs are thinking a couple more days....

We have had some great nurses. One in particular is Christine. She gave Conner a "bath" last night and he loved it! It was a nice ending to a rough day.

Thanksgiving was nice. We went to Marshall and Jenny's and had a delicious dinner! Jenny and I had our hair styled after dinner from the girls. We looked so cute! I wish I would have remembered my camera...darn it! Anyway they have been great. Andy and I have taken a break at different times and gone out with them. The boys went to a Stanford Football game and I went with Jenny to New Moon. The more I get to know them the more I am impressed... they are a great family.
