latest on Hunter

Yesterday:

Hunter was one good feeding away from coming come this afternoon. However, he vomited that and the next three feedings. So as of about 30 minutes ago he's back on the IV (they had removed it earlier today), and we can't try to feed him again until 7:00am, which will make for another long night.

Please pray for us as this is a disappointing development.


Today:

Today he has kept his feedings down so far. I'm skeptical that this will continue, but I hope so. There is talk amongst the Pediatricians that maybe he has another problem besides the Pyloric Stenosis that is causing him to vomit. Maybe acid reflux? As far as when he can go home we are just waiting to see how he feeds.



Thanks again for your prayers. This family is dealing with a sick newborn and a mom still recovering from a c-section all at the same time, not to mention their toddler daughter, who also needs her folks.
