I asked Matt what this post should be called, he said time machine because I would like to have a time machine to take me to a week or two post-surgery.
Until one is invented, I'll have to live in the present (which is supposed to be good for you anyway).
I had a wonderful visit with a friend this morning. Good way to start the day!
Then, we went to the cardiologist. Russell grew a little but not enough to make everyone happy. We are going back in two weeks (the 17th) for a weight check and chest x-ray. If things have not changed much by then, Dr. Hesslein will present Russell's case to the surgeons at Children's. That means surgery could be sooner rather than later, depending on scheduling and urgency. On one hand that would be great to get it over with, on the other, we would like him to be bigger. However, Dr. Hesslein said that Russell was big enough for surgery right now (he is only a little over 8 pounds).
Some fun news - Russell rolled over from his tummy to his back twice!
Travis is a great big brother. He likes to inform us when Russell is crying and asks to kiss and hold him a lot.
