Overnight

Carter did really well overnight. A couple things they are watching is that his heart is now firing from the center instead of from the top to the bottom. Usually this has an affect on his blood pressure but his BP is good. They are going to do a 12-point EKG this morning and see exactly how the heart is firing. This is correctable with medicine. (He was on the med just after surgery, he may need to be on it a little longer.)

Also, his feeds are at 17 ml/hr and they are on hold there because his girth has increased about 1cm. They hear bowel sounds but without saying it, they'd like to...change his diaper. We told them to be prepared because he likes to save up over time. :)

Everything else is moving along fine and we'll have another report later today. Kristi is going up this morning and I'll go up in the afternoon. We took Parker up to see him last night and we'll take Ashleigh this morning.

Thanks for all the comments, thoughts and prayers.

Love,
Alan & Kristi
