We have created this blog to help keep all of our family and friends updated on Pearson's progress as he begins to take his first baby steps in life. As most of you know, Pearson has a birth defect known as CDH and will have to overcome many challenges over the next several months. We thank you for visiting our blog and encourage you to leave comments as often as you would like. We look forward to hearing from you!

Postponed Surgery
Just a quick surgery update....Pearson did not have the surgery today. It appears that he has some fluid on his chest where he could have possibly aspirated sometime in the last few days. They are hoping his body will get rid of the excess fluid and surgery can possibly still be done towards the end of the week. If anything, this happening only confirms that we are doing the right thing by going ahead and doing the surgery to fix his reflux. I will keep you posted when we know more.

Hey Guys! Congrats on little precious Pearson. I have been reading the blog and keeping up since before he was born but just realized Mike had an account so I could sign in.
ReplyDeleteHe is such an amazing little guy and adorable I might add. I know God is hearing our prayers just by all the miracles that are taking place. I hope you are feeling well Brandi and getting some rest. It is hard being a new mom especially under these circumstances. I can't wait to meet him. If you need anything please ask. I can take care of things in Atlanta too if you need help here just let me know. Hugs to everyone and we could not be happier for you both!
you will be glad you did it...as hard as it seems right now. And Pearson is doing so well, so you'll be able to do more oral feeds at home and he'll be there before you know it. =) PLus, you'll get out of that hospital faster, because you control the feeds. ;o) ((hugs)) Prayers for smooth surgery....
