Well today was indeed uneventful for Robert. He was much calmer today than he was yesterday. He slept a lot but did spend significant parts of the day with his eyes open, looking around and at us. He got fussy a couple times when he lost his pacifier, but he didn’t throw any fits like yesterday.
Today was also a great family day. Robert’s Uncle JJ drove down and we had abig family meal at my Uncle Bill’s home. We got to see grandparents and cousins and had a great fellowship time. Afterwards, JJ got to meet and hold Robert who was perfectly happy, provided he had the specific pacifier that he wanted in any given moment. Mommy and daddy got to hold him too, as the on-call pediatrician made an exception and allowed us to hold him as long as we promised to be cautious of his umbilical catheter.
So tomorrow is the big day. The latest we have is still a general “Monday afternoon” for the balloon procedure. Everyone is expecting him to do just great. Hopefully, we’ll be allowed to feed him tomorrow night or Tuesday.
All in all, it was a wonderul day. Robert is changing a little every day and it’s amazing to watch him grow, even over a matter of mere days. We’re looking forward to getting him healthy tomorrow and bringing him home soon. Please pray for his procedure, and that our God would be pleased to heal him completely.
