Hungry and Tired Burke

We arrived at the hospital at 9am for Burke's heart catheter. He was not allowed to eat anything after 12am. So, he really didn't have anything to eat since 9pm or so when he went to bed. Luckily he sleeps all night long, but I felt so bad this morning when he woke up and was ready to eat. He was such a good boy this morning while we waited in the same day surgery waiting room. He kept close to us and held his blanket so tight. He did his usual, sucking his two fingers on his right hand, and held his blanket close to his nose and face with his left hand. It is so sweet. By the time we entered the Cath Lab, he was ready for a nap and definitely ready to be fed. So, luckily he will be under general anesthetic for the next three or four hours and will be "fed" by an IV. Anyways, we are just waiting to hear from the doctors with an update on Burke from the Lab. Here are some pictures from yesterday when we arrived in Salt Lake City and from this morning before surgery in his cute little hospital jammies.

We will have an update soon on how Burke is doing. And will let you know. Thanks for your prayers, they are so needed.

Good Luck! My prayers are with your family! I just can't get over how similar Emma and Burke look. They are definately from the Bates gene code!
