Great-Grandparents visit!!

We got a pleasant surprise on the 4th when Sean's dad, Phil, called and said that he was bring Sean's Grandma and Grandpa down on the 5th. Cade met his great-grandma Katherine when he was only about a week old but he hadn't met his great-grandpa Andrew. Grandpa has had some recent strokes and has been in and out of the nursing home for the last few months. But, he decided that it was time to see Cade and Phil took on the task of getting them both down here for the day. They all met us at the hospital along with Uncle Andy and Aunt Jill. Grandpa got to hold Cade first and I think pretty much fell in love instantly. It was fun to see the joy on his face. Then, Grandma got to hold him and fell in love too. She told Cade that he was her best friend and that he would have to visit alot. We had a hard time getting her to give him up but when she started saying that his head was really heavy, I passed Cade to Grandpa Phil. This was his first time holding him too and I would have to say that he loves that little boy an awful lot. Unfortunately, our camera died before we got a picture of Grandpa Phil with Cade but we did get a bunch of other pictures.

Other exciting news, Cade has made it to over 6 lbs. He is still on track with his gestational age. I looked up week 36 and it said that the baby should be about 6 lbs.

Yesterday when we got to the hospital, the nurse told us that she was concerned about Cade because he wasn't acting like himself so they ran a bunch of labs to see if anything was wrong. All the labs came back normal and after we held him for awhile he seemed back to himself. He was a little sleepy but did take some of his 5:00 bottle. We, along with the doctor (Dr. Purdue who we really like), think that his new shunt setting may be affecting him. The neuro team changed the setting to drain more fluid because he had some build up near the shunt valve. But, the plan is to change it back today. Also, when we called last night at about 10:30 Cade was doing really well. He had taken almost all of his 8:00 bottle and was getting ready for his 11:00 by sucking away on his pacifier. So, it seems that all is well but they were keeping a close eye on him. I'm wondering if he just didn't like his day shift nurse. I wasn't that impressed with her and it seemed like she was creating drama where there wasn't any. But, I guess I would rather have the nurses be cautious.

Lazy Sunday afternoon (I actually heard Sean snoring)
