Update #2

We are home!!!!  Well sort of.  We were discharged today at 12:00pm!  But we are still here in town until we receive his helmet and receive the okay to drive home.

Cannon's night last night was an eventful one but I felt as though it was a true blessing that we were required to stay in the hospital through the night last night.  At Cannon's 2:30am feed he took a full 7 ounces which we all rejoiced about but then unfortunately at 3:30am he threw it all up scaring and stressing mommy almost into a frenzy but it was crazy to me at how calm I was while standing there holding him while he continued to get sick over and over.  The vomiting did stop however and then it was time for labs.  Although Cannon's hemoglobin was not where we would like it to be it still went up a whole 1.2 points!!!  Our wonderful surgeon stopped by at 10:00am and his goal was to see Cannon active and awake as the day previous to he had not.  This time I was holding him while we both were resting and the second he walked in I popped out the paci sat him up and tried to get him active.  He did well.  Cannon is a little camera shy though so the second a camera is in his line of vision he becomes silent and not so smiley so you have to be discreet, secretive or speedy fast.  Well when the doctor pulled out his camera after Cannon had been smiling and cooing and talking to the nurses all fell quiet again.  

Currently, Cannon is on just Tylenol!  Can you believe what a brave strong boy he is?  Here he just had a MAJOR surgery and all he needs is Tylenol like normal!  What a boy!  We have had to majorly reduce his amount of ounces per feed but that is okay.  He doesn't miss any meals.  

I have been so impressed with his awake time today.  I was sharing with our beloved family who has been here with us the whole time, that even prior to surgery Cannon did not have this much awake time, which he still does have rest time but I have just been so impressed and wondering if perhaps the enormity of rest time prior to surgery had anything to do with possible pressure he had been feeling?  Who knows.  All I do know is praise our Heavenly Father that we are now on the other side feeling relief and thankfulness that this part of our journey is behind us!  

Again, we thank you so much for all the prayers!  We are praying for a restful night and uneventful evening and a manageable pain level for Cannon.  He is such a trooper!  Or maybe a superbaby!  

Thank you!
