Baby Ryan Update: Day 15

We have had a setback today...fluid in abdomen...kidneys not functioning exactly right...enter-colitis which is an infection...and pathologist called this morning and said there weren't nerve cells where they reattached...pretty much everything has gone wrong...Ryan just went back to surgery...they are going to open him up and try to figure out what's going on...he will also be getting a colostomy until they can find the good nerve cells...we will have to come back in a couple of months for another pull through surgery...PLEASE PRAY!!!...

Baby Ryan Update: Day 1

Drs did dye test...all of his bowels and intestines look good...he was VERY backed up...they cleaned him out and we are now waiting for him to poop on his own so we can start trying to feed him and take him off the iv...we are hoping we can laugh at this later and say he was born constipated (or "full of ----")...thank you for your love, support and prayers...
