Baby Eagan - NICU Day 125-132 - 7 pounds!














   
 
Things have been pretty boring in Eagan's world. Boring is really good! Surgery is scheduled for August 29. I am so very ready to have his intestines all in one piece and start getting him ready to go home!! During surgery they will also fix the many gigantic hernias that have appeared around his ostomy sites and incision. He had to be put on oxygen for about 24 hours but is off it again. Overall, we are just hanging out and waiting to get things going! We are also working on his goofy shaped head by adjusting his position often so hopefully he won't need a helmet. His eye exams show no change, not better, but not worse.
