Well, all of Connor’s tests came back negative for any blockages, his tube feeding was re-started and his poor tummy couldn’t take it A gastrointestinal doctor was called in for consultation, he made recommendations and the Neonatal team will come up with a plan shortly. Good news: this is common with anyone of any age who has had gastrointestinal surgery. Bad news: no immediate, easy fix. More labs, rest, a (not very) different formula, an antibiotic to build good bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, maybe a biopsy of the large intestine down the road as the problems seem to have intensified after his 2nd surgery (reconnecting the small and large intestines) and who knows what else?
The answer to that last question is: God does. The Scriptures tell us God is good. That’s not just an adjective. He is/defines goodness itself. If this is true (and I hope you know that IT IS) then we can rest assured that our God, who is goodness itself, is taking very good care of Connor through this whole situation. You are good and what you do is good; teach me your decrees. Psalm 119:68
Please pray for wisdom for the Neonatal team and that God will bless their efforts on Connor’s behalf and for His own glory. Pray that Kevin, Sara and the extended family will walk and not faint.
but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31
Love,
Grandma Kim
