the echo showed the pda, so he's gonna have the ligation this week, most likely friday around noon. i'm not working fri - i've already told them - so i'll be at the hosp in the waiting room with a book and some knitting or something. maybe i'll learn to knit more than squares/rectangles.
he's lost a bit of fluid, which is great - now 3 1/2 lbs. still really really cute!

he's doing fine, guys!
he did well. his pda was evidently very large - they had to get bigger clips than the ones they had picked out at first - but the surgery itself was routine. he only lost about 1cc of blood, no difficulties.
but now, after, he's got that extra fluid to deal with. he's peeing some off, had a 51cc diaper, but some is in his lungs making his ventilation harder even than it was. they told us this would happen. it's possible he'll even go back on the oscillator for a day or so, if the pressure he's needing goes up much more. which is no real big deal, but i hope not anyway since i can't hold him then.
he might got a little more blood last night. the iv nutrition had to be toned down, since his picc line isn't central anymore - he's grown so much that it's basically a regular iv instead of being in a big blood vessel near his heart! so they'll either have to put a new one in tomorrow or start feeding him again soon to keep his nutrition up.
he weighed 4lbs, but some of course is fluid.
so he did great through the procedure, but the next 2 or so days will be a bit tougher. then, hopefully, much smoother sailing! he was moving around a bit, and peeped at me, though he's getting some good pain medicine.
thanks for caring, everyone.
