Sorry--once again, time got away from us. It's hard to keep up with this blog in the midst of a whirlwind of doc appts!
Liam is set for G-tube surgery on December 6, so please keep him in your prayers during the upcoming week. It is hard to send him off for yet another surgery, but we know it's for the best. Please pray that he will extubate successfully this time--last time we had a terrible time trying to get him off the ventilator! I'll post an update after surgery on Thursday, and don't be shocked if you read he's in the PICU. They may decide to send him to PICU for close observation due the problems coming off the vent last time and his cardiac problems. It should be a one-hour surgery and just an overnight stay in the hospital, provided all goes according to plan.
He sure is a sweetie! He FINALLY smiled for the first time on November 17 at Momma. She sure was glad to see that goofy grin, and she felt like she deserved it for spending all those hours on the silly breast pump for the little guy! ;) He has a GORGEOUS smile!! Our camera is ultra-slow, so we haven't caught it on film just yet....
He's doing better holding his head up, but it's slow going. Because he won't be able to do tummy time for quite some time after the surgery, we expect it to be a while before he gets really good at holding his head up.
That's about it for the news for now. We'll keep you posted this coming week with new developments!
In Christ,
Bill and Lisa

He will be in our prayers, especially on the 6th!
I'm glad to see Liam found his smile. Remember to tell him that a sense of humor is essential!
I'll be praying for you tomorrow. I talked to a student of mine who works in the infant room and she said they are all mesmerized by Liam. I could tell they were all committed to keeping him safe and healthy.
Love to you all.
