Well, Colin made it through his surgery just fine. The procedure went well, though last night was expectedly difficult. He would cry out in a combination of pain, hunger and recovery from the anesthesia. It was emotionally wrenching, but we knew there was no other way.
This morning, we introduced just a little pedialyte through his tube and he tolerated it well. We're now back to bottle feeding/balance of feed in tube. For his last feeding, Colin decided to take it all by bottle! Go figure. He's up and playing around a bit too, just not smiling yet. I wouldn't be either if I woke up with a tube sticking out of my belly! But I think he's definitely off to a good start with the healing process.
I'll keep everyone posted as I can, especially in the coming days. Thank you for all the blog comments, phone calls and emails (and prayers)!
