Happy Birthday, Dinky! Three months ago today our little bundle of sheer determination (and joy) came into this world. These past three months have been challenging but they have been met with equal reward. We are so lucky. And I mean that.

Our little one's journey will continue tomorrow as he goes in for his third surgery. The plan is to connect his esophagus and his stomach. This is the second half of the surgery he had right after birth where they tied off the fistula that was connecting his trachea and esophagus. There had been some discussion of addressing some other things during this surgery (his airway, the diaphragm) but the surgeon wants to wait until we are absolutely sure how these issues factor into everything. His surgery will be at 8:30 in the morning so please keep us in your thoughts and prayers during that time. Again...thank you, thank you, thank you.
