It’s almost 11 p.m. and I’m about to the hit the road. I got to spend some quality time with Houston and Gabriel, and hopefully, gave Stephen a little break — a good thing considering he has to work from home in about an hour. Crazy computer geeks and their software jazz.

“Look how happy I was with my spoon and Charlie Daniels’ Band huggie before mean ol’ Mommy & Daddy got the doctors to take the yucky out of me,” opines Zeke.

Updates on Zeke via Granny:

• His epidural was leaking, so the anesthesiologist took it out. This can possibly cause infection, so the docs are going to have to keep a very close eye on it.
• When I left around 4:30 p.m., he was getting morphine every 2 hours. Granny says they’re still sticking to that timeframe, but have upped the dose, since morphine is his only means of pain relief now that the epidural has been removed.
• Granny says he still hasn’t slept much. I’ll probably breastfeed immediately upon arrive; perhaps this will help calm him a bit.
• His fever also rose again, but Tylenol brought it back down.

I won’t have the computer at the hospital tonight, so this will be my last post for a while. Perhaps Stephen will have some time to blog tomorrow after he takes Houston to swim lessons.

Feel free to call the home phone if you want any info. Someone should be around. Thanks for all the love and support!
