Emergency Room

Well it has been a hard few days. We spent the evening in the emergency room on Sunday and went back to the hospital on Monday, and things are just starting...

Davis has been diagnosed with several issues.

First of all his abdomen hernia has gotten worse but they still do not want to repair it until his gets a little older. Now we need to watch for signs that it is causing damage.

Secondly, his incision site is showing signs of infection. If the infection spreads into his stomach it can be life threatening so he is taking antibiotics and we are watching for a fever. If he starts a fever he will need to be admitted.

Lastly, the doctors took several x-rays of his abdomen and discovered that his intestines are very dilated. This could mean several things but they need to run more tests to find out what is causing the problem. We are headed back up to OHSU on Thursday to meet with the surgeons and run tests.

Please pray for our little guy, he is not eating or sleeping well because he is in a lot of discomfort and there is nothing we can do to help him right now...As a mother that is a heart breaking feeling.

I will keep you posted.
