Damon Conner Cochran was born on Nov 16, 2006 in St. Louis, MO. He has a congenital heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Damon has undergone 2 of the 3 surgeries he will need to repair his heart, the first on Nov 20th, 2006 and the second on April 13th, 2007. This site was created to keep our family and friends updated on Damon's condition. We also want to glorify God for all he has done for Damon so far and will continue to do. God bless all of you who check this site; we love you so much and thank you for your prayers and support. Jeremy, Sarah, Myles, and Damon Cochran

Perhaps tomorrow

we will be released to come home... It all depends on the weather. Ok, maybe it doesn't all depend on the weather alone, but that is a big factor since we have such a long way to travel. Damon is doing well today. He hasn't eaten very much by bottle, but two of his feeds have been bolus (sp) feeds which means that we pour it down the syringe and let gravity do the work instead of the feeding pump. With the feeding pump it can take up to an hour, doing it the other way takes like 10 minutes. So far he has tolerated it very well.

Damon has a new room mate today. She is a little girl who had another kind of CHD and had an open heart surgery three days before him. I think she is doing pretty well. However she has two older sisters and when I say older I mean only like 1 1/2 and 3 years older. The 17 month old is very jealous and is screaming and crying a lot. It is very nerve racking and she also has a cough when she gets upset and it sounds very croupy. Pray for us all in that room, it's very frustrating.

We are hoping and praying that the snow will be minimal so that if they release us tomorrow we can actually leave. Talk to you all soon. Sarah
