Saturday, July 19, 2008 in the Morning

Good morning everyone. We are still at Erlanger in in Room 5078. We will be here until Sunday (tomorrow midday). Houston stayed with us here at the hospital last night. We all rested well.
We have seen Zander already this morning. He looks like a new man. He has been given a bath and he has long brownish-blond hair. More tension has been added to his traction sutures which continue to pull his esophagus towards his stomach. He is still a little jaundiced at this point and they may put him under the light today for awhile. He is slowly but surely waking up as they have not given him any Adavan since about 1:00 a.m. this morning. Hopefully we will see his big beautiful eyes later this morning. We are keeping our fingers crossed.
Mom is doing well. She is moving around much better. She is still taking pain meds every 6 or 8 hours for pain, but she is in good spirits.
Please know that we cannot express our gratitude for the uplifting comments, prayers and outpouring of support. I will write again later today but enjoy the pics from this morning. I especially enjoy the one of Zander holding Mommie's finger.
Peace and Grace to all!
Clancy

Clancy, he is beautiful! Please know that our prayers are with you, Christie, Zander and the boys. We are in Knoxville right now, but are planning on coming by the hospital after church tomorrow if you guys are still there. Tell Christie she looks great! Can't even tell she's just had a baby!
