Grayson is on his third countdown to coming home posted He starts over today at day 1. He had two bradys yesterday. Dropped his heartrate to 55 and 67. Everyone tells me that he is waiting on Kaitlyn to come home with him.
Kaitlyn is doing better. Hopefully they will start feeding her again tomorrow. Last x-ray was clear with no signs of NEC. As soon as she reaches 5 lbs, she is 4 lbs 2 oz right now, and is on full feeds they will send her back to Children's to have her ileostomy put back together
For those who don't know, an ileostomy is a surgically created opening in the small intestine, usually at the end of the ileum. The intestine is brought through the abdominal wall to form a stoma. Ileostomies may be temporary or permanent, and may involve removal of all or part of the entire colon.She has an ostomy bag over the "stoma" - the intestine which is outside of her body - and her stool goes into this bag. It is really no worse than a dirty diaper.
