Update on Reggie
Well the last few weeks have seemed like an eternity but, things are going in the right direction. The Doctors say they are please with his progress. My sweet little guy had his second surgery and it ended up being best case sinario. Out of his 200cm of small intestine the Doctors were able to save about 57cm. Now it has just been a waiting and healing time. We feel very encourage about how well Reggie is healing. Even though we still have a long road ahead it is so much easier to go down when it is not IF we are bringing him home but WHEN. We are still waiting for his intestines to wake up and to see what they are able to do. Every Doctor says this just takes time. Once he can start eating we will be able to see how much longer it is before we get to bring him home. I get to hold him now and he keeps getting one tube out at a time which makes me happy. On the outside he looks perfect (minus the big cut that is healing on his tummy:)) he is very handsome, alert, smiles, cries, and holds my finger. Thank you all again for your prayers, kind words, and help on our behalf. If it isn't asking too much we would love the prayers to continue until our little Iron Man is home healthy and happy.

I am so glad you updated, because I keep forgetting to do it. I am so proud of you. You are being incredibly strong and positive! I am sorry you had to go through this, but I know that you will be a better woman because of it. I love you! If you ever need to stop and cry, you know I am here for you!

ReplyDeleteTim and I have been praying for Reggie and your family. Sorry we haven't responded to this blog before now. We have been praying and fasting for both Reggie and our little one. You made me cry over this last post, because Tim and I didn't have the same problems as you guys with your little one, but it was so good to finally hold Luke even though I had to wait a few days. It also made me so happy when a tube or IV was taken off of him and it made me sad when they were put back on. The doctors had NO answers of why he couldn't breathe on his own and for 2 weeks we had no idea if there would be an end. Tim and I kept praying for both of our little ones during this whole situation.We finally have him home and we couldn't feel more blessed that right now he seems to be doing well. This has made us stronger and I know this trial in your family will make your family stronger and closer. Tim and I are still thinking of you guys and keeping you in our prayers. If you need anything at all please let us know. We are here for you guys!!
Love:
Robyn and Tim Young
I'm so sorry that I have not responded before now. I didn't even think to check your blog through all of this. I guess we took the approach that we didn't want to bug you guys with so much on your plate. We are definitely praying for you and your sweet little family! We cannot imagine the strength it must take to get through this ordeal. We love and miss you guys and wish so bad that we could be there to help. We will continue our prayers.
