Its day 15 in the hospital…  Sometimes  I wish I didn’t have emotions.. I would say this has been one of the harder days. Korbin was so happy this morning and then this afternoon we went and did some crafts with papa and grandma… then bam all the sudden he didn’t feel good..  The surgeon came in to check on him a little bit ago to see if the vomiting had slow down today, I said yes, but he hadn’t had hardly any water today.

The surgeon shared this with me..

Korbin is making good progress, however we are very far from being out of the woods, you may be here at the hospital another two weeks. Korbin is basically asleep from breast bone to rectum. (inside)  This is going to take time for him to heal and wake up. He has gone through not one but two very invasive surgeries in a very short time. We must continue to watch for infection and the “puss pockets”. Korbin had a lot of poop exposed to where it shouldn’t be… Think about it this way…  think how when you get a splinter in your finger that one area is really irritated and aggravated  even after you get the splinter out… Now Think about having splinters in your finger all around the tip how much it gets irritated and how even when you get them out it still hurts.. That’s similar to Korbins intestines’, all this yucky stuff rubbed up against it, and it has been to sleepy to fight back and shake it off. Now we must wait for it to wake up and begin to heal before we can move on.

It’s getting harder and harder every day for me to realize time is the most important thing right now for Korbin.  We are praying for no infection, all though his percentage of having “puss pocket” is very high we are continue to monitor very closely.  Doc shared that we could be here two more weeks and then a week at Ronald McDonald house..  My heart sank, I am ready to be home, however this is where my lil man needs to be this is where we shall stay! Please continue to pray for him that his lil body will fight the infection and that his insides will wake up! There has also been a lot of talk about NG tube again... please pray that we wont need that;.
