Connor woke up Saturday morning like a different baby! He woke with his beautiful smile and I knew immediately he was feeling better. The day of surgery and the day after was like a battle to get a smile out of him, which told me he felt terrible. Friday night all he had was Tylenol and that seemed to control his pain so that made me feel much more comfortable about going home. Saturday afternoon he was discharged.
SATURDAY MORNING SMILES
AT HOME RESTING
Connor seems to be gagging less and less as the days progress. He seems to be tolerating his feeds at this point. We are slowly working on increasing his volume but can't do this too fast due to the surgery. For now he gets 3 oz feeds every 3 hours during the day and his usual continuous throughout the night. It feels amazing to not have to clean up vomit all day long!!! I know that has to make him feel much better as well. I am praying that this surgery is what he needed and he can pack on the weight now and possibly want to eat by mouth again.
MAKING HIS SPEECH THERAPIST PROUD BY USING HIS Z-VIBE
He is back to his wild self, wanting to jump & squirm everywhere! He keeps acting like he wants to crawl but the most he has gotten was like a frog hop! Now that he won't vomit from being in that position for a while, he can master this skill. His jolts of energy are short lived, he seems to be taking a nap every 2-3 hours right now..Thankfully, so his body can heal! ;)
WANTING TO CRAWL
PASSED OUT WHILE PLAYING WITH TOYS
I want to thank everyone for all the prayers, thoughts, phone calls, and visits. You all don't know how much it means to me. You all have helped me and my family through some of the toughest times in our life.
