Week 46 – Day 7

There is no better way to wrap up week 46 than with the news that Brendan is going home tomorrow!! The doctors are very happy with his progress. As of 6pm tonight, he is on his full formula feeding and his TPN is gone. He is pooping regularly. He just has to demonstrate through the night that he is tolerating full feeding. He was mostly in a great mood and was just making all the nurses swoon with his cuteness. He kept me very busy though and I didn’t take many pictures.

He was very serious today about his sprint.

You take your eyes off of him for even a second and he is scratching his surgery wound. The incision itself looks great and is healing well but the surrounding skin is just destroyed by his scratching. It is very sensitive skin where it was under the ostomy base all the time. He has it all bloody and messy. He just goes digging with that thumb, he is trouble!!

You can’t be mad at this face!

Everyone is exhausted, and we are all relieved that this hospital visit is at its end. We are so excited for homecoming!

Trevor tried to play in Brendan’s crib again today, but Brendan’s crabbie security system caught him

Trevor didn’t let it stop him

Better luck next time Brendan, you are going to need a bigger guard crabbie.

Trevor went to the basement for a little rest

Peek! Just kidding, he doesn’t nap.

I am getting ready to head back to the hospital for my last overnight with Brendan. I am hoping he sleeps so I can sleep. I am excited that the next time I make the drive home, it will be sitting in the back seat with Brendan in the car! We hope that it all goes smoothly!
