When it rains, it pours...

....and it's especially good when it's all good news!

Jack had SUCH an amazing day!! As far as testing goes, he had upper GI scan to make sure everything is hooked up the right way and is where it needs to be. He drank a chalky liquid which they trace to throughout his system to make sure it travels without getting stuck or caught anywhere. He also had an ultrasound of his abdomen.

Both tests went very well.. how well? Well we originally thought that he had no spleen.. turns out.. he has a NORMAL size spleen!! The fact that it's a normal size is an amazing sign, however his cardiologist is ordering some tests to see if it's functioning properly. So fingers crossed his spleen is up and running!

Another win for our little man today-- he got to nurse! :) THREE TIMES. My milk hasn't come in yet, so he nurses for 15 minutes then takes some formula. He was literally born yesterday, though it feels like much longer... so we are just being patient until my boobs decide to join the party :)

I am being discharged tomorrow morning. Jeremy will be going home to Evie and Grandma and I will be staying at Children's with Jack so we can bond and work on nursing. The sooner he starts eating, the sooner we will get to bring that sweet boy home.

Thank you to everyone who visited today! Auntie Nikki, Auntie Lynne, Uncle Ben, Gabby, Grandma and of course-- BIG SISTER EVIE! She was so excited to meet her new baby brother. She wanted to hug and kiss and hold him. So we let her do all 3.

Before she left, she sang him her favorite song.. and trust me.. it was THE sweetest thing <3

Keep those prayers and good thoughts coming!!!!!
