Update: Saturday, May 22nd


We had a pretty uneventful day today, other than some leaks from his bag which really is frustrating. A normal bag is supposed to last about 2 days and you just drain it when it gets full. Because of his incision from the first surgery it is not allowing the bag to get a very good stick and then it leaks, which then takes about 30 minutes to get him cleaned up and another bag onto him. Once we get the bag thing down we can get it done a lot quicker but we are very slow right now. Other than that hiccup, we had a really good day.

Saree was able to begin breast feeding which she is a pro at already. She has that motherly touch and you can see Robbie's comfort when he's in her arms. He was finally able to get some really good rest today after those feedings. He slept for some long stretches and really needed them because yesterday was a really busy day for him.

Monday at 8:30 a.m. is still the schedule for his surgery to remove the thing on his head. With that gone we will have one less thing to worry about and hopefully will be heading home pretty soon. There are a couple puppy dogs up there that can't wait to see their little bubba.

  3. It brought tears to my eyes when I was reading about Saree and Robbie. It really brought back the very nice memories I still have with the special bonding between a mother and child when breast feeding.

    We are trying to let everyone we can down here know about Robbie and you guys so more prayers and thoughts can come your way. Take care of yourselves!

    Love you!!
