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. He has help from a ventilator when he gets distressed, but most of the time he is breathing our oxygen level of #21 on his own. So many miracles already. Preliminary tests are all good.

I guess on the weekends there are no pediatric surgeons available and they want to make sure that incase there is an emergency or have to do it right away that there will be one there. So, I am ...
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 that it doesn't harm the baby, just can make me uncomfortable.
