Benjamin had a better day today. His tummy is still swollen, but to a degree that is to be expected. The surgeon looked him over today and was ok with how things looked. He had 2 x-rays done and everything looked ok with them as well. Tomorrow we get the results from his blood cultures. If they are negative surgery should still be this week. Fingers crossed they are negative. Everyone seemed happy with how he was today.
Tonight Jon and I were able to participate in bathing him in the tub. The little firsts are so much fun. He did great. He didn't cry at all...He was also weighed and came in at 4lbs 5.5oz. His tummy swelling may contribute to the 100g he put on in 2 days, but he is growing.
Thanks so much again for all the prayers and support. So many people have made this all a little easier for us...we appreciate it so much.

He looks so great. I will be praying for good blood cultures and surgery asap. I know you can't wait to move on the eating and growing :)
