Want to HEAR how things went?

Doesn't he look so cute in his miniature hospital gown?


Porter continues to be a mystery and his surgery turned out to be not much of a surgery. They did put him under anesthesia to examine his ears, but he doesn't have any fluid in his ears and he passed his hearing test in both ears as well. So why has he failed the other test so many times? The doctor doesn't know, but he's fairly confident Porter can hear just fine.


Despite having to fast before his surgery, Porter was in a great mood up until we handed him over to the doctors. He was chatting with Aaron all morning long. After his surgery the nurse was excited because we were an easy discharge...wrong! Porter really struggled to keep his oxygen levels where they needed to be so we had stay for an extra hour for him to be monitored. He never did get his levels where they should be, but they would drop really low and them jump back up to where they belong. The anesthesiologist said he may just be that way all the time but again said, "It's a mystery." So we'll just roll with it, watch him close, and hope for the best.

Thanks for all of your love and support for our little guy, your prayers must be working!

Meghann, I'm so glad that everything went well with the Dr. on Tuesday! Your family was in your prayers. We wanted to come over and see how it went but we have had the flu bug at our house and don't want to share with you! I'm so glad you posted though so we know that everything went well. What a stong, amazing little guy you have.
