Not moments after I posted the afternoon update, I had the true joy of changing a dirty diaper. Typically this is not a reason to dance around the room, but when you are waiting for baby bowels to wake up, it is reason to celebrate!
Next steps…
-NG tube removed
-Sips of clear liquid
-Bottle of clear liquid
-Sips of breastmilk
-Bottle of breastmilk
-Increase to regular amount
If at any time Matthew becomes distended or vomits, we have to go back a step. Best case scenario is a day, sometimes longer. Knowing what we do about Matthew and his eating, I’m prepared for longer than a day. We will start that first step either later tonight or tomorrow morning, depending on the opinions of the surgeon based on Matthew’s latest stomach output. Thank you for the continued prayers of healing for our sweet baby Matthew!
