Grace has had a fun birthday overall, with balloons and presents and blowing out the candles.

But tonight, during her line flush, the white side busted a hole through, up above the clamp, near the Y . We did our best with a paper clip clamp, but Jon took Grace to the fire station to put on an umbilical cord clamp.

That worked nicely, but her doctors want her on antibiotics right away in case it got contaminated. So Jon and Grace are headed to Dartmouth now (10pm.) They will also be taking the whole line out either tonight or tomorrow morning. That exciting milestone was scheduled for two weeks from now, but she gets it early for her birthday.

Please pray for safe travel and no infections and a successful procedure.
