Prayers Needed

Molly had whirlwind morning in the NICU as she was told that TOMORROW, May 25th is the "explore" surgery to see if the gap between his esophagus and stomach has decreased. It is a very simple procedure using dye for the surgeon to visualize the gap.  The complicated part is the result and knowing if and when the big "connection" surgery can take place.  


He has grown from 4# 1oz to 6# 3 oz...and likely gaining more as I write!  Growing on the outside is not a problem and he looks amazingly strong.  Now we have to learn if the inside is growing and growing as well!


Please say a prayer for Baby Simon.  Please let the surgeons bring good news to Clint & Molly who so deserve it!  The days in the NICU are LONG and TIRING, and poor Baby Simon so wants to come home.  Don't get me wrong, he looks so comfy and is in love with a few extra special nurses.  Actually, I think they are in love too!  I can't blame them, we all are, he is the best!!  But it is time for all of this to be resolved and for this brand new little family to get home!


Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.  The surgery takes place at about 9:45 am on Friday.

Here is a pic of Simon from this week, clothes are his new thing!  He looks like a baby now and less of a preemie!

 The glare was bad, but last night I stopped by the NICU for a little Simon time.  He as resting

so nicely.  He was dressed in this little football outfit, the light was too bright to get a good shot.  

Just when I thought I had Simon all to myself, Molly and Clint came back from a nice, well-deserved dinner out at House of Hunan!  Molly has been craving that since she was on bed rest.  It was so nice to see Clint, I never visit in the evening when he is there.  He is the positive and upbeat one, keeps everyone else that way!  He is the best!
