Just another day of waiting today. The good news is that Brendan broke the 3 kilogram mark, so he is growing! (That’s 6lbs, 9.6oz) He has to be at least 5kg in order to have his first big surgery. They’ve stopped the Milrinone and replaced it with another blood pressure medication that seems to be helping him maintain his heart rate. Nothing is hooked up via IV again now, we will see how long it can stay that way.
\nThey had to keep tweaking Brendan’s oxygen levels overnight, he goes between .1 and .3 liters per minute of flow. They still hope that he can get off of it all together soon.
\nTrevor stayed home for his last day alone with Gramma, she has to fly home tomorrow. She’ll be back to see them again in February. Trevor will go with all of us to the hospital again in the morning for another brother visit!<\/p>\n

So the important stuff for today, the pictures –<\/p>\n

There was recently a huge telethon to raise money for the children’s hospital. A small part of the proceeds went to bringing these adorable teddy bears to all of the patients. They gave us a matching bear for Trevor too!

Brendan is getting used to the idea of clothes! He pulled out his feeding tube overnight, so the shirts with the hand covers are important!

Brendan is trying to get the same chunky cheeks that his brother and cousin have.
