Sorry we haven't posted since the 31st.....Quite frankly, we've just been having so much fun with Little Bug, we couldn't find time to blog!!!! Connor is doing FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! All the doctors are so please with his progress. He is one day away from being finished with the narcotic wean and everyday he is looking better and acting more like himself. His lungs are sounding more clear and he is not requiring supplemental oxygen to keep his saturations up. Praise the Lord for so many answered prayers!!! He is talking and jabbering all the time (just like his daddy....hee hee!!!) We've been getting smile after smile from him and he is even sleeping great through the night!!!! We are hopefully and prayerfully optimistic that his "episodes" have subsided for the time being......He is pooping without pain, just like a normal kiddo.....He cries when he's messy, but hey, who wouldn't???? We are pushing forward on his physical therapy because he is so weak, but he will get there!!!! We've been taking walks during the day here in the hospital and we are off the monitors all day long. He's decided he likes bath time now and he smiles away once his body touches the warm soapy water!!!!! Yeah......all these things lead to one major announcement...............WE ARE GOING HOME ON WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Continue to pray that nothing stops the plan that is set in motion at this time!!!! We are so excited to take Connor home as a healthy little boy!!!! Don't get me wrong, Connor still needs to be protected from germs and colds and flu, but we think we can just hibernate at home for a few months until he is a super strong boy who will be ready to meet the world!!!!!! I have a feeling we are going to be pretty crazy about being protective, but hey, can you blame us????? We just want to stay at home and enjoy our days in our wonderful, safe and loving refuge!!!!!
Well, I better get back to the bug!!!! He was napping when I came in to write, but he could be awake now and ready to jump outta bed!!!!!
Things are going fine with Randy and I. We went last Thursday for the big Ultrasound and Amnio for the new baby. Things looked good and we will get the amnio results by this Friday. Continue to pray for a great report for new itty bitty bug!!!!!!
Lovebug Hugs,
Lori

Praise the Lord for this wonderul, optomistic report!!! Way to go Connor!!! With so many people praying I'm not surprised, just thrilled. We all continue to hold up all 4 of you in prayer. After so many discouraging days we're so happy to see things looking up. I'm sure everyone will understand if you're a little protective of little bug. who wouldn't be after all he's had to contend with. So neat to hear the fun he's having with baths and all the normal things. How exciting to be looking forward to going home WED.
Love Ya, JoAnn & Rip
Hi Lori,
This is wonderful news Lori! Good job Connor, keep up the good work!
I thought you might like to know that Gary will be playing on the Christmas in the Northwest TV program that benefits Children's Hospital. I'm not positive when it will be aired on TV but will let you know. Gary will be accompanying the singer Kevin Thornton.
Have a great day!

Oops! I left out that he will be playing the piano.

Lori,and Randy,
What absolutely fabulous news:) It made my day to hear how well Connor is doing and that the plan is to head home Wednesday.
I know that the Bellingham Bunch that has been praying for him will do a dance of joy when I share the news!
Please know what a treat it was to meet Connor the two times I was able to visit the hospital (I missed you both times, Lori)...he is one trooper of a little guy.
Blessings...and may the next while at home be peaceful!

Hey Lori! It's me...the other Lori! Lori Frazee (actually, it's been Hewitt now for almost 10 years!) Kent and Kay were visiting just this week and told me how to find you! I just spent an hour and a half pouring over your blogs. I cried, I laughed. I remember how much I love you! I didn't find your email address on here anywhere, but hopefully you'll see this comment. I would love to catch up with you! So much has happened in both of our lives since I last saw you! What an inspiration you STILL are to me! Love, Lori
