 Chris and I made sure we were sitting with Gage tonight when he officially turned one week old and I took the above pictures at exactly 9:35pm tonight. 

So the NNP that was there for Gage's delivery (and who was the one we talked to when we went on bed rest with Hunter and then again 3 weeks ago with Gage about what a NICU stay could mean) talked to us a little more tonight about what is all going on with Gage (refer to caringbridge for all the details from earlier).  And when she was done she said something about how much stuff he had going on and how she was "surprised we were still standing."  And as we continued talking I could swear she was fighting tears...  How bad is it when the NNP is saying stuff like that?  **sigh**

One of my big prayers is that Gage's heart issue would correct itself enough to not need surgery, both so he doesn't have to have surgery and because it's quite possible that if he does need surgery he will have to move hospitals (dependent on if the surgeon's schedule allows him/her to come here) and I don't want to leave our hospital for a variety of reasons starting with how well we know the staff here, how wonderful all the nurses that take care of Gage are and how close it is to our house when we start staying at home.  Our NICU is a level three but they don't do surgeries here except the one he might possibly need, but again it depends on the surgeons schedule.
