NICU...Day 4

I decided to enlist the assistance of Evan's pediatrician today.  The on call doctor was in the hospital and came to see me.  I explained what was happening and asked her to see what she could find out.
Half an hour later she came back and said that she had talked to the cardiologist and he was ready and willing to look at the report, if it were available to him.
Long story short, there is some black hole that the test results slip into between the time they take the monitor off him and when there is something that the doctor can look at.  He explained that the office that handles this transaction is not open on the weekends, there is no one to call. This seems to be a known issue and he said that they are hoping it will be resolved.  That is where I come in.  I will be addressing personally, once my son is home.
In the mean time, we stay another night.  
I came home at 6:30 to have dinner with Darryl and Austin.  Then, Darryl went in to spend some time with Evan.  He will be able to feed him for the first time since I was able to pump today.
I'm going in early tomorrow so I can try to be there for rounds.  I want to see the pediatrician myself.
We will update once we have any news.

Also, I spend most of my day in the NICU and since I can't make phone calls from there, I don't have a lot of time to call and update people.  I will try to put something on here every night and my Mom is always updated.  Please forgive us if we don't get to call everyone.  We love you and appreciate all the prayers and support you have given to us.  I don't know where we would be without you.

Our thoughts are still with you guys... I cannot believe this is going on. Making a sweet, healthy boy stay in the NICU because someone doesn't want to work weekends. Let me know if you need backup! :D lol... Love you guys!
