Bryson is holding his own and doing fair. The nurses say he's better than text book! He has already overcome so many hurdles but has many more hurdles ahead of him. With the surprised esophagus surgery, (TEF/EA) it looks like a 3 month minimum stay in NICU. He NEVER was on ECMO. PTL.

I went yesterday for another u/s and appt.
They told me that he had what is called Polyhydrothesis something. I guess its alot of amniotic fluid around him or something. No one had mentioned
that to me. It kind of bothered me. But, they said
