Molly reports that Simon is still doing ok... We've had a few scary moments today, but he recovers. They surgeon was in twice today and says we are making progress already. I mistakenly said they were stretching his esophagus; they are actually stimulating its growth. This is the first time this has been done at Akron Children's, so we will see how it goes.


So an X Ray this morning shows that compared with yesterday there has been 1cm of growth.  They were aiming for 3cm in 10 days.  This is GREAT news as it is already working!  Molly is hoping that the rapid growth continues and that Simon is able to have the surgery sooner than later.  


I called to check on things and Molly was finally home resting.  She and Clint have been alternating 4 hour shifts.  I told her to turn her phone off and sleep!  I am sure she did not listen, but at least she was attempting to rest.


I hope to visit tonight or tomorrow morning and will learn more about his condition at that time.
