Little Peek

When they wheeled you to the room to do the GI study they opened the back door in the NICU to let the girls take a peek at you. They loved it! 

Your sissies sure love you, Caleb. 





After your GI study the doctor came to talk to us. He said the study didn't indicate aspiration or even a severe reflux. Instead of taking that information and going forward with the surgery next week we got different information. The neonatologist received a call from the GI surgeon and he said that the pediatric anesthesiologist mentioned not wanting to do the surgery because your vent settings are too high. He doesn't think you would be able to survive the surgery. The neo was quite surprised and didn't expect this so we are trying to work our way through this. We were just trying to wrap our heads around the fact that the trach would happen. Now the neo is worried that if we wait too long you won't be able to get the surgery, that we will miss our window. This is a lot to take in. My emotions are all over the place. Just know that we love you, Caleb. That we are trying to find out what you need. 


Sure do love you.
