Owen has been recovering nicely over the past week. Monday was a big day for him as he got to eat for the first time in seven weeks. Melissa fed him yogurt and he was in heaven! About two hours later it came back up. On Tuesday I fed him a half container of yogurt and he did great. We think on Monday he ate too much and his stomach was not ready for it. Today he ate another half container of baby food and seems to be doing fine. He gets so excited now when dinner time comes.
The feeding tube is still in but it is much better in the stomach that it was in the nose. Today Melissa took him off the tube for a few hours in the afternoon and he was so happy to be free. He worked his way around the house and had a ball. He is ready to be done with the equipment.
Owen will be going back for a third surgery on March 15. They will stretch the esophagus and apply more glue to the hole. This will also allow the surgeon to evaluate the hole. It should be an out-patient surgery and he will be home that night.
Iris has been sick for a few days. Melissa took her to the after hours clinic as she was really miserable last night. They told us she did not have the flu or strep throat and gave her some Tylenol. She seems to be a little better today but still not up to 100%. Hopefully tomorrow she will be back to her normal self.
Owen has been coughing a little and we are praying he does not get what Iris has. So far she is the only one who is sick.
Glad to hear that Owen is doing better. I hope his cough clears up.
