Hard to believe that this coming Tuesday, November 1st is Elliot's due date. And Monday, Halloween Elliot will be 100 days old! Not sure if we should celebrate and cry seeing as though that means we've been here in Lebanon for 100 days! I am sure we will celebrate.
Elliot is over 5lbs - it's been amazing to watch him grow and get bigger each week. His premie clothes are even starting to get to small if you can believe it - on too a whole new size! Another milestone and something to celebrate.
Elliot had laser eye surgery on Friday - it lasted about 2 hours and was done to both of his eyes. The surgery was for retna detachment and to help prevent any further distraction. Detachment can happen something to premies who have been on oxygen as long as he has and who have been born so early. Everyone was so nice and he made it thru perfectly. Just another test/thing Elliot wanted to have before we leave the hospital - we are sure he wants to have every procedure and equiptment he can before they let us go, even then we will be taking some home with us I am sure.
We also enjoyed our first snow fall here in Lebanon. It was Thursday afternoon, a heavy wet snow that lasted for a few hours, we have to admit that it did look pretty on the trees but we have not even put our snow scraper in the jeep yet, so BJ was forced to clear the windows with an old CD case. The weather report for the rest of the weekend also includes another storm so Elliot might get a chance to see even more snow before November!
