Well.. I think today has been the more positive days that we have had, even tho Korbin was pretty crabby all day. It started off with a 4am morning stroll around the until, then down to get an xray .. then back to the room and then down to art therapy… then up to the room for lunch and a lil rest time then down to music therapy.
All the behind the scenes while Korbin was out and about, The head surgeon Dr Calkins met up with me. Korbins Xray looks way better this morning, the “swelling” from the gas in his stomach has gone way down! Korbin has been able to keep 2 ounces of apple juice down today… We may get wild and just let him try a cracker tomorrow… Dr. Calkins also shared that as long as everything stays on upward motion as soon as he eats and keeps it downs … we are out of here! We don’t have to stay at Ronald McDonald house for a week ( maybe a day or so just to make sure) but we have been around long enough and were almost out of the “danger zone” !! He is still getting food by IV for 18 hours of the day, he likes being “free”!! I changed his osomy bag not once but twice today all by myself… It went very well, just have to figure out how to get it to stick better around his belly button, I have a few ideas, have to run it past the provider to see if they will work..
Just keep praying that we are on the right path now… Give thanks to the Lord for His almighty healing hand!
