Coburn Kids

All right, so Caden’s due date has come and gone. He’s 3 months old today, a whole 6 lb.’s and growing big. And…. drum roll, we have no idea when he’ll be home. Seriously, I could have sworn last week that we were so close to his homecoming (I should know better as the day I delivered I thought I was about to be discharged). They want his hernia surgery done before he leaves, that will take place at Primary Children’s. He still hasn’t had his ROP exam but we are assured that will be done before Friday. If it has progressed then they’ll do the ROP surgery that day in the unit. I found that strange but hey, I’m not a doctor. I imagine it’s like a LASIK surgery and not too traumatic. Daniel mentioned a homecoming of Thanksgiving to the nurse and NNP and the response of “we hope so” doesn’t exactly proclaim assurance.

I have to call his Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Warnock, and reschedule our consult with him for Caden’s cleft. I’m also trying to find a great pediatrician for him and the girls as well. I love our current one but she’s had to cut back her hours and is a 1/2 hour drive away. I’d like to try to find one that has experience with Clefts as well but I’m not sure how to go about that. So we continue to move along, slowly and always waiting.

In other news, the girls LOVED Halloween last night. I was surprised at how long Adessa wanted to go for. So they brought in a candy haul, I’ll have to post pictures. They went with their little cousin Ethan who was adorable! He wouldn’t wear his cookie monster costume but after the first house was very excited to be getting candy and the way he said “Trick or Treat” was adorable. They loved it.
