From my mom earlier this morning:

Maggie's water broke and then she delivered last night at 27 weeks. Baby is stable and the heart conditions are what we thought.  Nothing worse. Some good points:  vitals are good, blood gases good, good flow of blood and oxygen, lungs look good. He needs to grow in the NICU for probably 2-3 months. Maggie had C Section and is fine. He has what is known as DORV with a sub aortic ventricular septal defect.

Plan in the morning is a 6:00 X-Ray and then sometime later they will insert a colostomy bag into his belly to help him poop. I'm told she will get to go home on Wednesday. Coop will be in the NICU after he is done and hopefully can develop. I'll have more news tomorrow.

What's really helpful is that my brother in law's father is a Neonatologist who has seen everything under the sun with premature babies.

Successful colostomy insertion but they found some other issues during the surgery that they will address later but nothing else today.

Is the colostomy temporary

Maggie will get to home on Wednesday. Friday for Cooper will be a big day has to have an echo done along with some other tests.

Hammy the Hamster is getting a little long in the tooth and just can't keep the wheel spinning as fast as he used to.  This is Hammy early in his career and he's definitely lost a step or two.

Somebody needs to feed Hammy. I guess we've been working him pretty hard this week, but he's not doing to well this morning...

He over-imbibed like most of us last night. Just let him get some more coffee in him.

Noticed the same thing for me.  Thought it was a "my end" problem until I saw the above posts.

Wanted to take a second and thank you all for your prayers for my grandson last year. I saw him yesterday and learned that his doctor has released him to play football in his senior year of high school. Based on the x-rays. scans and initial diagnosis, this is nothing short of a miracle.
