It is about 7:00 p.m. on Saturday night. I am sure the women of the SETNTD weekend are getting a surprise about right now. I wish I could be there, but I know there will be many blessings in store for them this evening.
It was a rough afternoon for Zander. He is doing fine now. They tried to remove the ventilator, but it did not take. Zander can breathe on his own, but because of his 1st surgery he really uses more energy than he should. He really gets his entire body into breathing and the Nurse Practitioner said that the way he was breathing without the tube was indicative that he was still in pain. As a result, Zander was put back on the ventilator. I was able to watch them try to remove the ventilator and it was not an easy thing for me to watch. The little guy tried hard to do it on his own, but as noted above, he was working his little body to hard. They anticipate that the ventilator will be able to be removed in a few days once his body and insides have healed a bit more.
At present, he is sleeping soundly. The pictures above were taken after the ventilator was re-inserted. It is hard not being able to hold him and Christie and I were hopeful that we would be able to hold him before we left the hospital. We have not given up hope as we will not check out until some point tomorrow.
We are in the room (5078) just taking it easy. The NICU is closed for visitors between 6 and 8 in the morning and 6 and 8 in the evening due to shift change and testing.
We are anxiously awaiting 8:00 to arrive so we can get back in to see him. We only have about 45 minutes left.
Love to all...I will write soon.

Thanks for the great updates. We are home safe and sound (and tired) from Oglebay. We really missed you all and are looking forward to hanging out with the 5 of you next year. Give that sweet baby (and Houston and Jackson) a squeeze from us.
Love,
Heidi and family
He is precious. We are still praying for complete healing. We serve an awesome God and He knows the plans He has for Zander.
