Since today is the 1st of the month, Tori will have a new group of doctors following her. Apparently the residents rotate once a month on the first. It should be interesting to see if the new doctors opinions agree with the old ones.

Jay and I will go down later today and hopefully see the doctors and of course visit with Tori. Each Monday there is a parent meeting and we want to be there to attend it. Don't want to end up with a "black mark" because we didn't attend! It is a nice opportunity to meet with and talk to other parents and well as complete items needed for Tori to be discharged!

Tori is now typically taking something by mouth at each feeding. She didn't do that well for us yesterday at her 2 pm feeding, she only took 20 ml. Her nurse, Kari, said she did well at her early 2 feeds that shift, so I guess I can't complain. She didn't brady during those 2 feeds, although she did brady once on me. Little stinker!

It is hard to believe that her first halloween has come and gone, the first holiday (and hopefully the ONLY holiday ever) spent in the hospital! I tried dressing her up for halloween and she let me know what she thought of her frilly pink and white tutu by spitting up all over it! Maybe my princess is a tomboy at heart!

One of our friends is having surgery this week. Please keep Carrie in your prayers tomorrow. And remember our friend Benita next Thursday (11-11) when she has surgery as well! Continued prayers for Tori's room mates, as they recover from their surgeries last week and prepare for upcoming surgeries is also appreciated!
