He is out of surgery stable and only missing 16cm of his bowel. There is more bowel that looked sick but not necrotic so they are hopeful that it can heal medically. This is not the best case scenerio bit FAR BETTER than the worst case. We are so grateful for Dr. Z and his team for their exquisite care!
He still has to be watched very closely for health of the remaining bowel and many other factors and we can expect him to still possibly get more sick before improving. He has 2 stomas of bowel exposed through his abdomen that will still have to be surgically attached and put back inside at some point. We have a very long road ahead of us but we are extremely happy with the progress that was made in the OR.
Praise God!!

ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear it! Still praying!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad Evan made it through surgery ok. As a fellow mother with a triplet son in a Children's Hospital ICU recovering from surgery (heart, not bowel),I can sort of understand how you may be feeling. I hope his recovery goes smoothly and that he doesn't experience many set backs. They can be so disheartening. I don't have much time to get on the internet these days, but I'll be popping in to check on you all. I'll keep the 6 of you in my thoughts. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness! That little squeaker is a trooper! Looking forward to more and more improvement.
ReplyDeletePraise God!! We continue to pray for little Evan and your whole family. Please let us know if we can do anything to help. Everyone at IRO has been so worried about Evan. We miss you and think about you all the time!
ReplyDeleteSo happy that little Evan did well in surgery. Now lots of hugs and kisses as he recovers from all this.

May He continue to bring wisdom to the doctors and healing to your sweet boy!!!
