Yay! I'm so excited! He's doing so good after surgery yesterday! Like SO good!! They covered his guts with a wound vac, which basically means they covered his guts with a black sponge, cover that with saran wrap looking dressings, and turn on a pump so that it constantly has a little bit of suction, which pulls away any moisture from the sac and makes skin start to grow over the sac. And he will have that at home for about 2 months. So that means he is gonna look like he has a big pregnant belly until they push everything in (which will be in about 6 months).
So the plan for today is to start him feeding!! They will put a tube down his nose into his stomach that they will use to feed him. And then once they pull the tube out thats in his lungs they will be able to use a bottle (which will hopefully be tomorrow!). I'm guessing they will use the milk I pumped with mixed with a fortifier to give him a little extra nutrients that he needs. Oh and after they pull the tube out of his lungs I will FINALLY be able to hold him and hear him cry. I'm SO stinkin excited for that!!!!
I'll try and add a picture a little later today when he wakes up! I'm just so excited I can't stop smiling cuz things are moving along!!!
