The Waiting Game

Hey all! Well we're currently playing the waiting game. Colby is still doing awesome. He is wowing the nurses and doctors with how quickly he is coming around. He currently is doing so well he has his orders to go to the floor, the general care floor! :) Whohoo! But there are no available beds right now. So he remains in the ICU. His only issues right now are he still is draining chylous and he's also not enjoying the formula they have to give to him because of the chylous, so he's been spitting up some. We think his stomach may be a bit upset too. He has these spurts where he cries and its so sad. Its this muted little cry and although it breaks your heart to hear it, its also a great sign that he's on his way to recovery. They tried to have him start taking feeds out of a bottle, he took down about 5 CCs but he fussed alot and doesn't seem ready for that step up just yet. He does suck on a pacifier like crazy so he's got to be on his way.

Jess and I heard talking in the ICU last night of a heart transplant happening. Our nurse told us they were going to be doing a surgery late last night and we are assuming it was a transplant. We believe the child is across the hall from us as there is a huge machine in the room that we've never seen anywhere in the ICU since we've been here. This place is just amazing as to what goes on here. There are some big time miracles going on here on a daily basis.

We had a nice little distraction today, we popped on the NFL draft and watched a bit of that as our beloved Lions take another stab at a banner year, at least it can't get any worse than last year, or can it?!

I can't believe I left you all hanging about the Oreo Dream Bars, Earth Day style. They were fantastic and looked just like a big chunk of dirt. The perfect earth day treat, who knew dirt could taste so good.

Hopefully tomorow I'll have some new pics for you and be able to tell you all about our big move!!

Blog to ya later!
