Randy's Birthday!!

Good Morning ~

After a long, virtually sleepless night, we awake to a new day!! Connor remains on the c-pap machine. He was off for about an hour this morning, but was put back on because of labored breathing. The team of doctors made their rounds this morning and assured us that they are trying to work swiftly on our behalf to get Connor his surgery soon. It will not happen today, but they are hopeful for tomorrow. We will keep you posted.

We are headed down to the cafeteria with Randy's folks to have a whoopin' big celebration of his birthday over grilled cheese sandwiches. This certainly is not how we planned to celebrate, but we will all make amendments to our schedules. We understand that Auntie Kathy is on her way to see us today as well, so we will look forward to her visit.

Connor is resting comfortably at the moment, so we are thankful. He is so tired from this difficult journey and it is good when we see him sleep on his own without the help of drugs!!!
Randy says thanks for all his birthday greetings by message, email and postcards. It's nice for him to sit and be encouraged by all of your kind words.
Thanks for your love,
Lori

Hi Lori, Randy and strong little Connor!

If anyone knows how much a miracle a baby is, it's me, after losing my baby to birth defects. God bless this little miracle. May all go well with him and his upcoming surgery. I wish you the best, Lori, in all that you do. You and Connor and your husband will be in my prayers. Enjoy your little bundle of joy. I know that he could not be more loved because you are a very loving person.
