Kris is doing very well. They put her under general anesthesia for the procedure and then stuck her in ICU mainly because when people here brain tumor they freak. At little extra precaution never hurt anyone and I is for the best, but it has kept Kris apart from Parker thus far which is a big bummer for her. We're working on getting her IV out and sent up to seem him real soon.
As for Parker, he's doing very well. As you can see he's a big boy for his age, much more filled out than I expected! He initially let out some good cries, but then had trouble sustaining good breathing after that, so they intubated him. They did the thorough workup on him and the only thing out of order is RDS (respiratory distress syndrome), which basically means his lungs are a bit immature. They gave him some meds for that and his readings are steadily improving! They're hoping to extubate (take the tube out) him later today, which will be super exciting so we can start feeding and holding him.
Thanks for all the support via email, text, posts etc. Can't wait to bring him home soon.
