So 9 weeks ago Connor had a perforated bowel. so for the last 2 months he has had to have a colostomy bag (NO FUN!). It was a lot of work to take care of but luckily on August 19Th 2010 he had the surgery to repair the intestines back together. Connor was in surgery for 3 hours total. We got there at 10:45am and waited a few hours for them to take him back to the O.R. but at 1:15pm they walked him back. He was back there until about 4:00pm. When I first saw him I was so happy. He was awake but not opening his eyes because he was still pretty out of it from the anesthesia. They let me hold him right away and strolled us together to his room #708 in the Pediatric Unit of Cardon Childrens Medical. Its been 2 days since his surgery and he is doing fantastic! He in getting very little fluids from the iv and holding all his meals down. They said most likely if he continues doing great we will go home tomorrow. This was probably the easiest hospital stay we have had....(this was his 5th stay total)....Im really excited to start having a normal life with a healthy baby again. I just know he is going to flourish and grow! He is my little fighter and life just wouldnt be the same without him! :)
