I am very sorry I'm just now updating you on the surgery. The blogger has been down and wouldn't let me post anything new. Yesterday was a great day of progress! Pearson's surgery went good! They saw that he has a very small stomach so they will have to take feeding him very slow. Sunday they should be able to introduce his stomach to milk with continuous feeds and let it slowly stretch. Monday we can start trying him on a bottle. Prior to the surgery he was being fed with a tube that went down his nose, bypassing his stomach and going straight to the intestines, which is why his stomach needs to stretched and gradually fed a little at a time. He is definitely on the road to recovery and will hopefully be on the road HOME very soon!!!! God has answered our prayers once again and continues to bless us everyday with an incredible support system!
Also, I am just now realizing that most of you probably had no idea Pearson was having surgery yesterday. I blogged Wednesday night about it, but I see now that for some reason it never posted for you all to see. I am so sorry for this misunderstanding...I have no idea how this happened. Hopefully you are all up to date on everything now!
I am so glad Pearson's surgery is over and he is on the road to recovery.
