Big Day

Chase is coming home on Sunday!!!!!  He's up to 5 lbs 2 oz.  Cole had his big test yesterday.  As of right now, his bladder is functioning well.  Our next step is to have an MRI about 4 months from now.  The tethered cord means that when his cord grew, his body didn't grow quite as much as it needed to keep his cord free floating at the end.  There is a piece of connective tissue that connects the spinal cord to the spine.  As he grows, it will cause tension on his spine which will cause problems later on.  The neurosurgeon said that it is a quick surgery, a day or two in the hospital, and then life goes back to normal!  Everything sounds good.  Cole started to take a bottle today as well!  Big days and bigger days to come!
