Mom and dad take a break

Well this Saturday mom and dad took a break to visit the Boston temple and renew their spirits. They had a pleasant outing and took some time for a date night as well.

It's a good thing they got to renew a bit as tonight has been a little rough for me. I'm tired of being asleep so I'm fighting the drugs. I keep waking up enough to wiggle my feet and my hands and shrug my shoulders. The nurses have had to give me extra doses twice now. Hopefully the surgeon tomorrow will tell them to up my drips so I can't hurt myself. I had a little desat spell too so the nurses had to suction my vent tube extra. My nurse tonight also forgot to turn me on schedule so mom had to get tough on them. These Boston nurses had not seen momma bear yet so were a little shocked by it. Momma is taking such good care of me and making sure the nurses don't get too busy and forget which is good as the NICU here has gotten so busy they can not allow a nurse to have only one baby to care for even one who has such a big job as taking care of me. :)

I'm resting well and growing so fast thanks to mom and dads attention and everyones prayers. I only have one more centemeter to grow! The surery fellow whose name is Alex was quite surprised that I'm still growing so fast. I'm growing so fast they have to tighten my traction three times a day! So far my growing looks like this: Tuesday 2cm, Wednesday 0.5cm, Thursday 3mm, Friday 7mm... Since my gap was only 4.5cm when they took me to surgery I only have one cm left! Mom and dad were really excited. I can't wait to finish growing so I can wake up and play with them again.
