The port for his feeding tube is still in his stomach and the doctor would like to leave it in for maybe another 6 months, just in case. If something would happen (pray that nothing changes) it is better to have the port already in. To put the port back in would be a major procedure so he suggests leaving it in for as long as possible. The port does not bother Owen and we are fine with the plan.
Owen is so happy and is thriving every day. He is a whole new person since he started eating and not having to deal with the feeding tube. His activity is full speed and he is really trying to talk more and more. Owen is starting to use his potty chair!
We have had a long week with just about everyone in he family under the weather at some point. Hopefully we are at the end of this road!
Melissa,
