Problem Solved

Sorry it's so late in updating the blog. I worked today and was going to update it when I got to the hospital this evening, but the computer was not working right. So, I just got home and will update it now.

Here's the latest. They did the gastrografin enema first thing this morning. However, it would not go in very far. Doc then decided not to torture Isaac anymore and wanted to sedate him and insert a central line and get a better look at what was going on. He found that the blockage was at the end of the intestine and quite a bit of stool was backed up so he cleared it out and was then able to correct the problem. When Isaac had his pull through surgery in July to attach the good intestine to his rectum the surgeon attached the intestine to the side of the rectum. In the last 6 months since surgery Isaac's rectum grew longer, causing it to push against the intestine and somewhat pinch it off. The surgeon was able to correct it with out surgery and now we wait and watch as Isaac recovers and his intestines rest for a few days. He is not allowed to eat or drink anything my mouth for a couple of days. He does receive nutrients via TPN in his central line.

Tonight while I was there I held him for about an hour. Before I had to leave he woke up more and was pointing and grunting at the TV, excited because a football game was on (that's my boy). He also got to play with his Diego velcro ball and board. He was throwing the balls at the board, which he enjoys doing.

Thanks for all your prayers. God is a great God and we have no doubt that no matter what happens in our lives He is Sovereign and always worthy of praise. "For we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him and have been called according to His purpose." God bless you all for your faithfulness to Him.
