Gestational Age: 36 weeks
The surgery went well. They were able to place a subclavian broviac, do his circumcision, and repair his ostomies. She also removed his appendix. Basically she said that it was now in a bad place, and that if anything ever happened later, another surgeon would have a hard time finding it and removing it. So now it's the wait to see that everything heals and is working. A week is what she said so that is what we will be waiting for. They took him down to the OR without oxygen which is a good thing! I think he will have an easy transition back to where he was. They are expecting to have to increase his vent settings over the next few days so that he doesn't have to work too hard. He is still on antibiotics and they say that he will most likely get a lot of fluid again so I won't be posting his weight for the next few days. I think that's all. Continue the prayers, he will be needing them for the next few days.

It sounds very promising!! We will continue to pray for Josh as we know so many others will too. We thought of him and you and Dave all day today. Stay strong. Joshua will get stronger and heal ...and soon he will be home where he belongs, with his mommy & daddy and big brother.
love always,

Great news on the surgery! I think as a whole, our prayers are working. He knows he is loved and will fight for you. We'll keep up the prayers and thoughts as he gets his strength and weight under control. He's gaining weight very well up to now, so with the regular feeds again and Mommy & Daddy there, he'll be back to his old self (better actually) in no time.
Our love to you all,
Fred, Kris, Tammy & Caeleigh Marie
