Almost 48 hours

Well, we are almost 48 hours post op and the Dr. came to check Mason this afternoon and he had poop. I was shocked when they told us. She went ahead and put on an ileostomy bag on him since this was happening. This is very good news. He weighed 1 lb 14 oz this morning from all the fluid and swelling. He is pretty puffy but swelling has decreased throughout the day. Urine output is still good and he is off the blood pressure medicine and insulin. He is one tough cookie, that is for sure. His pain and sedation is better today so that he isn't fighting the jet ventilator. He is hanging in there. We sure love this little boy!

    I have a son that was premature and had an ileostomy. I soooo understand this journey for you, and also how God is carrying you and your whole family through the whole process. My son is now 10 years old and very healthy! Praise God! We will continue to pray for Mason and for you as you walk thru the coming days of this journey. Blessings to all of you!
