Wednesday

Praises just keep on coming!!!! Today they increased his feeding from 10ml of Lish's milk to 20ml and they hope to increase it again before tomorrow!!! He is handling it very well. All of your prayers are being answered. Thank you. The doctor hopes he can go home early next week. He has gained weight, now he is 7# 12oz, almost back up to his birth weight. He is still stooling well and eating great. We did find out today that the surgeon did not remove the intestine below the ostomy. They sent the biopsies they did during surgery to another pathologist to confirm what they found. Basically, they could be wrong about the Hirschprung's covering the entire colon. If they were initially wrong, then Isaac could have more intestine then we first thought. Thanks again for all your prayers and keep them coming.
This is Isaac with his new "Prayer Shawl" from Aunt Dorthy and Uncle Don and their church. They have a group of people who make them and then pray over them before they send them out. Thank you very much!!!
Fast asleep!!!
Look at those cheeks and that lower lip.


Oh yeah, that's good!!!

He is so cute. And just to let you all know the ostomy bags never stick like they should on an infant. My niece had one for the first 7 years of her life, so if you guys need someone to babysit down the road, i know how those things work. I hope you guys get to come home soon. Nikki
