Tennyson is doing so wonderful, even better than we could have hoped or imagined after last week. In the last twelve hours he's really been worked over but is doing great.
Yesterday morning around 10:15 a.m. they removed him from his oxygen (they do this with every baby because for insurance purposes they have to fail thriving on their own to be allowed to take the equipment - oxygen and monitors - home with them). Needless to say, Tennyson has thrived on his own since then, which was highly unexpected. He has even made it through numerous breast and bottle feedings, so praise the Lord for that.
All day yesterday he was scheduled for an MRI that was pushed back and rescheduled and such. He finally had it around midnight last night so while they sedated him, through the MRI and then the bath he was given while sedated after the MRI he had oxygen on because they were afraid with him being out he would not remember to breathe. Once he was bathed it was taken off and he was fed by bottle so he's doing great. He weighed in last night at 5lbs. 12.7 ounces and growing like a weed.
Early this morning he had his circumcision done. The nurses said Tennyson did great, as did Dr. Holmes. There was no bleeding however as a thank you Tennyson had a blow out as Dr. Holmes did his work, bet he doesn't forget this kid for awhile.
So that brings us up to now, he's doing great, holding his own, the circumcision site is red but otherwise looks great, he ate right after the circumcision for a bit and will be hungry again soon I'm sure. Just wanted to let you all know how great our God is in that He's carrying our little one through all of this. I'm just thankful Tennyson won't be able to remember any of it.
There is mild speculation we'll be heading home in the near future from the nursing staff however Dr. Porte would like us to be 37-371/2 weeks and we were 36 yesterday so we'll see. We're not getting our hopes up because we've heard their speculation before. We will however let you know when we know. We will also post MRI results when we have them.
Again thanks for the prayers, we know we would be nowhere near going home if it weren't for all of you interceding for us. Know you are loved.
Excited in the Everlasting-
Travis, Lindsay & Tennyson Myers

Good job Tennyson! I am so happy to hear you are doing so well. I am proud of your bravery through your little surgery. It was probably harder on Mommy and Daddy than it was for you. Love, Aunt Marilyn
