Hurry up and Wait

More waiting. I'm sitting here right now in the NICU next to my handsome sleeping boy. He's had a rough morning. First the neonatologists, then the plastic surgeons, then the nurses -- all "messing with him." And he hasn't even had surgery yet! We're waiting for anesthesiology to get here. They said last night that they'd probably be prepping him around 6:45, but it's now 8. O, well. Paton seems comfortable right now. I see his little chest moving gently with every breath. His little legs are tucked up under him and he looks pretty cozy. I may post a few more pictures here in a bit, if I can figure it out. Then I'll give an update after surgery. We had problems with the wireless network here (they gave us the wrong access code), and then our internet filter was keeping us off the system. But I think we're all set now.
