During his hernia repair surgery, the surgeons noticed that our son's anus did not form properly. As a result, he is not able to pass his stool. That being the case he had to undergo another surgery today-a colostomy. We were thinking 'are you SERIOUS???' Just when you are up, there is something to bring you down. This is par for the course though--a roller coaster indeed!! The surgeons didn't want to do this procedure the same day as his repair surgery because it would have been too much for the little guy. We are happy to say that this surgery went well. No unexpected complications. This is just a temporary fix. Once he gets over his main issue (CDH) they will repair and fix his plumbing. :) Poor guy, he's five days old and has undergone two surgeries; more than a lot of people have in their lifetime.
Maddox proved again that he's a strong fighter. So now that all the pressure has been relieved from his colon and stomach he's able to start recovering.

I just read your last couple of updates....Maddox has been through so much and continues to be a warrior. Praying for Maddox and your family. Tell that beautiful little boy to keep fighting. Here are two other emails you can reach me at, tracy.meats@gmail.com or tracymeats@q.com, since my cherubs' account is being goofy. Praying for strong and stable days for your little guy and take care of you too. I hope you recover quickly from the c-section. Have the nurses get you a comfy rocking chair to sit by his bedside.
ReplyDeleteMuch love to you and your family,
Tracy
