Lewis had his fundo yesterday




Ok so i put the blog off public view but have put it bk on while lewis is in hospital, we came in on wednesday afternoon and lewis went to theatre on thursday mornin, i took him in and stayed with him till he was put to sleep, that was sooooo hard, he was so full of life 1 minute n the next minute there was nothin, broke my heart that did reminded me of holdin nathan, so still :(
So he was away from us about 5 hours his consultant filmed his operation, he was pleased with how it went though they had to open him up as keyhole wasn't possible as his insides were just too stuck together, he managed to unstick everythin from his tummy but tore his spleen in the process but managed to stop the bleedin quickly, everythin will just stick bk together again, he was happy with how the fundo went but as he had to open his repair scar they couldn't give him the mickey button feedin tube so he's just got the peg
He had to go to high dependency unit after his op and was in a lot of pain when we got there, he was screamin so bad and his heart rate hit a very scary 220 it was just awful and heart breakin, he never cries he's always so happy, he had an epidural placed after his op so they had to give him a top up of that am upped his morphine and that settled him. As he was in high dependency i wasn't able to stay over with him so reluctantly i had to go home for the night.
When we got bk in this mornin lewis was looking much better, though i won't be happy until i get some of his usual smiles out of him, he got moved from high dependency to a normal ward this mornin, still on morphine and will have the epidural in till sunday then it has to come out and may have his morphine turned down a notch tomorrow
Thats pretty much it for just now he just has to rest and heal and we hav to get used to the new feedin tube and also the fact his scar from before is now longer as they had to open up his old repair scar and extend it a bit. He'll probably be in for another week and we have to work on buildin his feeds up as at the moment he's only gettin a little water every few hours. Will post a couple of pics xx the 1 in the shirt and tie was him on wednesday before we left for hospital, it was a rumour goin round the nurses about the cute smiley baby in the shirt and tie so they were all coming to see him when we arrived lol the other picture is lewis today xx

Hayley, I pray that little Lewis does well with the feeding tube for you, and can really begin to shine with oral feeds like you so desperatly want! Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your lives from overseas!! :)
