Nephew update

Our nephew's condition is slowly, slowly improving and the outlook is a bit more positive. He is still on a respirator and could remain on it for as long as two more weeks, but he will not have to have heart surgery, something that was a possibility last week. The doctors have also recommended he go to a special needs pediatrician so that his milestones can be watched carefully for signs of developmental disabilities due to a possible lack of oxygen to his brain before he got to the NICU.

He's not out of the clear yet so please keep that good energy flowing his way and thanks for your support.

And for those of you wondering, all seems well with our baby. I was at 38 weeks yesterday. I have a check-up on Wednesday (getting them once a week now) but no imminent signs of an early arrival. He's officially a Libra (woo hoo!) and if we make it to Sunday he'll be an October baby like his Mom.
