Another bump another briuse.. Seems we got over one, then another then another, and just when I though we were good to move ahead something else jumps in the way.
Aiden didn't start feeds today and that was because they have discovered a fiscular. They think it was formed when he got NEC and the drains where put in. They think during the healing process that where one of the holes were, it i guess, fuses you could say to the wall of his abdomine. This caused the fiscular, a pocket that is connected to his intestines but also his abdomine, so when there is a lot of pressure in that area, what is in his intestines, pushes out to this pocket. As you can imagine, this is not a good thing. If it ever ruptured and was full of "stuff" aka poo, then Aiden could get super sick. Not to mention that it is on the out side in the muscel tissue. Surgery came over to take a quick peek at him and the big surgon is coming tomorrow. We are now anticipating that Aiden will need surgery to fix this, which means he can still not eat until this is done, and then not eat for about 10 to 14 days later. Then once he can eat, it will once again be very little, very slowly. We are now projected out to the end of Oct, possibly even the begining of Nov befor Aiden comes home.. This is 5 weeks or longer AFTER his due date of Sept 28.. This sucks.. I pray so hard every day that he will get a break. He's gone through so much, this isn't fair that one baby has to deal with so much in his life time.
We'll know more hopefully tomorrow and I will update then, until then please keep praying for Aiden. Fast and speedy recovery for all this, and if he has to have surgery, that evrything goes well and there will be no long tern effects on his eating later on..
