Surgery day 3

I had the night off thanks to my sweet mother in law. Caius is doing great!! They have moved us to the Intermediate Care Unit. They gave him some milk and he did good so they have started him on his normal feeding schedule. They took out his pace maker wires and the central line in his neck. They also took the dressing off of his incision and it looks great. They took out his catheter and art line yesterday but now he isn't peeing. He really needs to pee!! We have been massaging his bladder but nothing is coming out. Please pray that he starts urinating.

The other small hiccup is that his thoracic duct is leaking fat into his chest cavity. It needs to heal but can't if it is draining. They are going to give him one more day on expressed breast milk and if his drainage is still milky they are going to put him on a special formula that doesn't have any long chain fatty acids in it. That way the duct won't have anything to leak and it can heal up. Please pray that it resolves itself today so we won't have to go to that yucky formula.

Thank you all for your prayers and support. Our God is so Great! His blessings and miracles have been abundant! I will post pics later when I get them.

  1. Oh such wonderful news! I am happy to hear he is healing! We will stand in prayer with the family that the hole will heal and he will pee. If you haven't done so "Lay Hands" on your son! Keeping you in prayer! Thanks for keeping us updated!
