Holding Our Breathe

Posted by on May 6, 2009 in Medical Work

We are praying and holding our breathe following Billie’s most recent surgery. He came out of surgery very well and was looking good. The pediatric surgeon removed 15 cm of his intestines. The next days seemed fine but then he started to struggle. His stomach distended and he had no bowl movement or passage of urine. His parents were very concerned as he was not improving.

He has made slight improvements this week by passing urine. There are a lot of decisions to make by the family and our staff. He could need another surgery if his condition does not improve. This is a very serious ailment and needs to be monitored with the greatest care. It is a waiting game right now.
