So today was officially baby torture day! Caleb had an ego done on his heart which is completely painless right??? For this procedure he was sedated but for his upper GI thing which has a tiny pit of pain associated with it but is way more complicated he got NOTHING!
I made a big mistake of deciding to stay in the room for the procedure, where took out his g tube stuck a catheter in there and then dye and barium. He has a good amount of esophagus down there so they were very pleased. They then put dye into his upper pouch to measure distance... Without stretching the distance between the two pieces is 4 cm, so once them distance is 2 or less than we can have our repair in what should be less then a week!
So of course I we are super excited. He has been sleeping since this afternoon so we are going to go wake him up for his bath and story time!
So I will update after surgery tomorrow!
Remember to pray for my baby tomorrow!
Ernestine, Joel, and Caleb
You got it! I will be praying for all of you.
ReplyDeleteI am praying with all my being and waiting for the news that he is out of surgery and recovering. I feel that you all have found a good place for this treatment and that you will be blessed with the strength to endure and I know little Caleb has his own strength to fight to get well. You all have made him strong and happy through all the effort to do things for him and not leave him in a hospital for strangers to care for. Caleb is blessed to have you both for his parents. Hang in there -- together for support! Mom advice: Take care of each other so that you can make good decisions for Caleb.
