Precious Baby

Samuel is doing well. He has been needing some pain meds and valium lately. We think it is because of the new shunt-probably a change in pressure causing headaches. We hope to wean him soon of the meds. He is definitely a wild little boy-like his big brother! He really hates when we suction his mouth out. We are beginning to learn his likes and dislikes. Oh yea, he really doesn't like a dirty diaper. It seems as quickly as he pumps, he is ready to get a clean diaper on. The plan is still to take him home Dec. 8th-maybe earlier??? Jeff and I still have to do 2 overnight stays before he can come home and we need our equipment too. Oh, I can't wait for our little baby to come home.

We had a great Thanksgiving this year. Jeff's mom, dad, and brother (tim) came out. It was nice to have family here. Jeff's mom and dad got to hold Samuel today. I am so thankful that they got to meet our new bundle of joy. We hope to have family out for Christmas as well.

We want to thank everyone for your support, love, prayers, meals, and so much more. I know I haven't got thank you cards out, but please know that we appreciate everything you all have done. Thank you again!
