Life has been very hectic. It is so hard to put into words what we go through day in and day out... What Bryce goes through... He has had a total of 8 surgeries now and we hope that we stay at that number for a while. The last surgery he had was last Friday and so far things seem to be going very good. His shunt is now internalized and his 4 incisions are healing. The hope is that he will take a few more days to recover and continue to work on his feeds. Once he can get his feedings down he can come home. It is so exciting talking about Bryce and coming home in one conversation. We keep hope that all will go well and somehow he come home with us this coming week. If he doesn't we at least know that there is light at the end of this tunnel. He is up to 7 pounds 11 ounces and continues gaining.
Cohen has been doing great... He is really starting to develop a little personality and is starting to be very interested in everything around him. He smiles all the time and has to be talked to when he is awake. Two weeks ago he was at 10 pounds 2 ounces, but I am sure he is way past that now. He goes back on Tuesday of this coming week for another check up. He has been a real trooper going with Mommy to see brother when Daddy has to work.
Today we spent the last day together (all four of us).. until Bryce comes home that is. The hospital is now under a lock down because of the swine flu. We are no longer able to take Cohen along with us and only Matt and I can visit Bryce... not even grandparents can come anymore. The news would have been upsetting, but we are confident that Bryce will be coming home soon!
The boys got to watch their first Bengals game with Dad.... first of many. We all had our Who Dey gear on until Mr. Cohen had a little accident all over his and we had to change him.
Thanks to everyone for their continues support and prayers....
