Not an April Fools Joke

Bates' surgery is tomorrow around noon, so please be praying that all goes well. He will be getting his intestines reconnected, a liver biopsy, his hernea fixed, and we are praying that, if it is safe enough and Dr. Askew is able to explore the gall bladder, that it will either need nothing done or something very simple to get things flowing through it to the liver. Please be praying for the doctors and surgeon, that everything goes amazing for Bates, and that it helps him reach a full and complete recovery soon! He is about 8 pounds 6 ounces.

Brooklyn was able to start drinking pedia-lite last night, and started drinking milk today! We are very glad about that, and pray that she keeps it down and that they can continue increasing the volume more and more each day. Once she reaches full feeds, that will help her billi rubin/liver number improve, and will get her closer to coming home! I was able to capture some pictures of her precious dimples yesterday! She is 7 pounds 4 ounces.

Grace has a pediatrician appointment tomorrow and she is excited about her first father daughter outing since I will be going to the hospital early to be with Bates and Brooklyn. Grace is about 8 pounds and is doing well!

I will update you on how Bates is doing when I know something- thank you for your prayers!
