Surgery day (Thursday - 8 weeks, 3 days old)

Mom and Dad got their kisses in early this morning before Quinn was taken for surgery at 7:00 AM. The procedure went smoothly after the anesthesia kicked in and his breathing tube was in place. Both hernias were repaired as expected. The surgeon did note that there was some greenish-colored fluid around his intestines, but it did not look new. Cultures were taken and so far everything has been negative. Quinn returned to the NICU around 10:30, still on the ventilator. He was "snowed" all day from the anesthesia and morphine, so they decided he was too out of it to breathe on his own.

Corbin wasn't sure what to do with all of the extra room in the crib, but he seemed to manage. He got 2 times the hugs and cuddles while brother was gone to surgery.
