(We tried posting this yesterday but blogspot stopped working right when Mommy pushed "post", so here it is a day late)

We got some great news today! Not only was Rowan wide awake for at least three hours, which both Mommy and Daddy were able to enjoy (though not together sadly) but the surgeon basically confirmed to Daddy that the surgery would go forward on Friday! She said the swelling has gone down considerably, and she's pretty positive she can get everything back in now. She told Daddy she couldn't do it right then since Rowan was awake and needed to be under anesthesia. We are both extremely excited! If they are successful, we will be much closer to bringing sweet Rowan home! It's about time too, since Rowan now weighs 8 pounds 7 ounces and needs to get a bit of exercise! He's got a nice fatty neck and even his arms are a bit puffy. The nurse said part of that weight is caused by having the ventilator, so as soon as he is off of that, he will lose a lot of that weight. Again, we are having a fast for Rowan this Sunday, for all those who might like to participate. We appreciate all the prayers and concern, Rowan is doing so great because of all the support!
