On Friday, Shaun's procedure was successful - the j arm (extension of his G tube that goes from the stomach into the intestines) was successfully placed without the use of anesthesia, Praise the Lord! Unfortunately they also found that Shaun has acquired a (hospital born) bacterial infection which has extended his stay in the hospital through the weekend. They are hopeful for release from the hospital on Sunday, or Monday at the latest, provided that Shaun does well with his feeds tonight.
Shaun's grandaddy came to stay with him in the hospital Friday night to allow Denise to run home - see the rest of her family - and return clean and with renewed energy to continue to give to Shaun. What a blessing.
Now, the main hurdles are to overcome this bacterial infection in Shaun's gut, and to be able to gain weight - as he is around 8.5kg right now (18.7lbs). Hopefully the next update will come from Denise, at HOME! Let's pray for this!
