Day 81
Josh was wide-eyed and so feisty today! We talked to the surgeon and they are going to take him in late morning. The surgery should take about 3 hours. They are going to do the re-attachment, insert another catheter, and circumcize him all at once. They don't think he has a hernia now so they are not touching anything there. After the surgery he will be intubated again and that will be a few days before they can take that out depending on how he does. It could take 1-2 weeks before they try feeds it all depends on when he is pooping. Not sure what else to tell everyone. It's going to be a long journey again, but this time, it's all part of getting him home.

I just opened the blog and started cracking up!! Look at him! He's so funny!! Those EYES!! Great photos without his hat on!!Definitely need to put those in the scrapbook. Email me those so I can do some photoshopping to them! Love it!
Will be thinking of my little sweetheart tomorrow. He's tough and although this surgery like any surgery isn't fun, the end result is why it's worth it and brings him one step closer to....well..literally to MY doorstep! (as he's my newest neighbor on the block!) :)
Love to you Joshua!

Will keep him in my thoughts this morning. He looks like he is ready to go and make it through this and recoop and come on home soon.
Those pictures, the eyes, that sweet little face. He must have been wired from your bright orange sweater too ;-) That little cutie.
Love you sweetie...

Dianna,
My name is Rebecca; I'm Megaen's sister-in-law and also one of the nurses at Backus. I just got the blogs from Megaen and spent 1 1/2 hours reading each and every one of them. You guys have been through so much and little Joshua has come such a long way!! He is such a cute little boy, and seeing him grow has been such a thrill!!! I wish you, your husband and your older son the best. Best of luck to Joshua today with his reattachment surgery!!! I have a friend who has had 2 preemies, one at 34 weeks and one at 30 weeks; both having had NEC and the entire NICU experience you have had. If you'd like her email address, I'll check with her!!!I'm sure having another NICU mom to chat with would be comforting; you have traveled the same roads, at the same hospitals. Let me know. My prayers are with you and your family!!! The blogs are great!!

WOW! Praise God for all he's brought you and your family through!
Father, I come to you in Jesus Name! I think you for all your are doing for this family and in their lives! I ask that you uplift them and Josh in your arms and bestow upon him your miraculous healing power. In Jesus Name I pray,
Amen!!!

Way to go Joshua! You are such a handsome little boy and I can't wait until you come home! Our prayers are with you all everyday.
Love,
Donna and Ray
