The war movie buffs among us will recognize the headline from the scene in Tora! Tora! Tora!, where the Japanese general shows a bit of hesitant regret after the bombing of Pear Harbor. This line ran through my mind last evening as I prepared to wake up Nathan for a final 11:30 feeding. No more food until after his tube surgery today at 9:20. So I wanted to top him off. And I was afraid of how he might retaliate - refusing to go back to his crib and rendering us all to the torture of a sleepless night.
But he never woke up.
Never even opened an eyelid.
Even after I turned on the light and changed his diaper.
So I tried again this morning at 5:30, last call for clear liquids before surgery. Once again, not an eyelid as I offered the Pedialyte. He did take three ounces in his sleep. So at least it's something.
So we're off to Nathan's first surgery...

Um, can we switch babies for a day? I could sure use a sound sleeper like that!
Seriously though, good luck today. Everything will be fine but I know you'll be relieved when it's all done.
