Cleared for surgery!

We just got word that the cardiologist cleared Oliver for surgery for his g-tube, so we'll all drive up to Portland together on Wednesday for his surgery sometime on Thursday.  We talked to the surgeon last week at OHSU in Portland about the procedure.  Putting a g-tube (feeding tube that goes directly to his stomach, replacing the one in his nose) is a simple surgery and will make his life and our life simpler.  We'll be up there for 3-5 days, so we're taking the girls with us this time. 

I'm also optimistic that we'll be done with his apnea monitor this week finally, so by the time we come home he will may like a normal baby!

Please keep us and our travels and all the doctors in your prayers.
