2nd Surgery

Connor's second surgery will occur in 3.5 hours. The surgery is to reconnect his small intestine. When he was only 1 week old, he had to have a piece of his small intestine removed as it had a hole in it. He was so little at the time that they couldn't reconnect it and simply left it disconnected and sticking out of the side of his stomach. He has had a colonoscopy bag attached around it serving it's role as an unattractive, see-through diaper. After today, he will no longer have this issue! He will then have to recover, learn to breathe on his own, and learnw to take a bottle before he can come home. But the end is in sight. This is a big step for him and although this surgerys not near as risky as the previous one was, every surgery is risky on a 4.5 lb infant. Thanks to everyone who is praying for him.

4 Pounds

Hey, long time no update.  Connor is doing fairly well.  He continues to skyrocket weightwise.  He now weighs 4 pounds 1 ounce.  Good thing Sara did not carry him to term or she may have broken her back!  He is still on the ventilator and he continues to scare his mama by desaturating his blood oxygen levels.  Hopefully he will start doing better so that he can come off of the ventilator.  He is supposed to be having surgery in a couple weeks if he can breathe well enough.  Please continue to pray for us.  We are very thankful for all the helping hands around us.  I do not know what we would do without all of you.  Thanks so much, please keep Connor in your prayers.
