Wednesday is going to be a very busy day for Jacob--he has both the ultrasound and HIDA scan scheduled for that morning, and after those he goes to see the urologist. The urology exam was scheduled for Thursday, but since we were going to be in Denver anyway, Deb called and they were able to reschedule it, so that will save us another trip to Denver. He has to forego food for four hours before his 9AM appointment, so we anticipate a very cranky little guy all morning--I'm sure it's going to break our hearts! His grandparents will be here, also, so they'll get to see the hospital where he was born and had such good care taken of him.
He's doing fine, eating like a little horse. He's beginning to demand food much sooner than his normal three- or four-hour increments, so we think he might need a bump up in his caloric intake. We'll see the pediatrician on Monday and see what she has to say about it. We'll also get a new weight and length, so we're looking forward to see how much weight he's packed on! Of course we'll post it here soon as we get back from the doctor.
We haven't heard anything on Morgan--we assume that Sue has not been at work and hasn't seen or had time to answer our emails. We continue to hope for the best for both of them. We'll post here as soon as we know something, and thank you to all of you who are keeping them both in your thoughts and prayers.
There was something very interesting in the newspaper this morning, and it's indicative of the great work they do at Presbyterian/St Luke's, where Jacob was born. Check it out.
