Modern Day Miracles

Surgery number three is done and hopfully it is the last. Reggie did so great. They found out that the blockage was from scar tissue. The tissue from the second surgery wasn't healed enough so it scared and constricted. So they did have to take out some more of my little guys intestine. That is the bad news but, the really amazing thing is they found 40cm more. They told us that the intestine will not regenerate but it can grow a little with how small he is. They were talking like 10cm and Reggie grew 40cm!! We trully believe that it was do to all the prayers on his behalf. I prayed for a miracle and the Lord did bless me greatly with one, who my kinding with many. Since then he has progressed remarkable well. He has been able to do more in the last week than he has in the last month. He is finally taking milk out of a bottle(only a very small amount not even an ounce yet) and pooping! Yes poop is very exciting when you have lost a huge portion of you intestines. He gives lots of smiles,wants to play, kicks, checks out is environment, is very alert, and all those normal baby things. They are slowly increasing his feeds every day and monitoring him to see how he does. It is a slow process but it is now going forward. That is the update in a very small nut shell but it is late and I am very tired. I will keep the updates coming. This is a picture before his third surgery and he no longer has that nasty nose tube.
I wanted to get a picture of his war wound for his baby book. Sorry I don't have a current picture my battery died on my camera.
