Another late night blog update, it was a busy day.
Brendan got some more tummy time while he was too sedated to work on his cannula
We also spent time getting him moved and settled in his swing, all the wires untangled and ready… then we realized that the batteries were dead. I think I made this face too!
Overall, Brendan had a good day. He was weaned down to 90% oxygen – any reduction is a good sign. So far he is still on the schedule for the OR for Monday morning.
Gramma is determined to get giggles from Trevor. He really likes “You can fly! You can fly! You can fly!!!!”
I expected that the next pictures would be a fun comparison, but I found it to be rather startling!!
Remember this picture from November 5th, 2011? I had a box of size 3 Huggies diapers and brought one in so that my sister could see a size comparison. Her son Caleb had just put on size 3’s. Tiny Trevor disappeared under the diaper.
But now, I opened that same box of size 3 Huggies in order to use them! Trevor has gotten BIGGER!
It is a bit of a crude photoshop cut & paste, but here are both pictures put together to scale, aligning the diaper size exactly. I am amazed and I watched the growth happen. Trevor has his 4 month checkup in the morning, so we will get a weight/length measurement! He is easily three times the mass now as then.
The look on Brendan’s face is priceless!…..Trevor is amazing look at him 3 x the growth – what a cutie as well. Big time prayers that Brendan gets better each day now before the surgery and after recovery.
Cute tie dye blanket and cute tie dye gramma shirt… a coincidence? I know she is such a blessing, wish I could be there to help too. Once again thanks for keeping us all posted on the progress. Keeping Brendan especially in thought and prayer. Hugs to all of you.
Good afternoon from the east coast! Hey, someone should tell Gramma when she’s playing “you can fly” that those wet burps can be disturbing!! Loved the pictures and the photoshop comparison was amazing! Trevor’s becoming a big boy!! So cute!! Brendan looks awesome too!! Loved the tummy-time photo! So sorry the batteries did not work, Brendan truly looked disappointed!! Hope the swing will be fixed pronto!! All of you are in our prayers, sending love and hugs!!! 🙂
