An update on Ian

Sorry this has taken so long to write, I had updated my facebook status after the surgery, but it takes much more time to think about and write a blog post.

Night before Ian's second surgery.

Ian second surgery (Sunday) went well.
We were so relieved when the Dr. came to talk to us after the surgery and said the part of the intestine they weren't sure about, looked good!! :-) The dr. took a little more small intestine out (around 9cm total) and attached an Ostomy bag. Ian will have the bag for 6+ weeks, and then Ian will have another surgery to re-attach everything and then he won't need the bag anymore :-)
Ian is recovering well, he is slowly coming off of his blood pressure medication/steroids, morphine and a whole bunch of stuff. The dr removed Ian's dressings, so now he just has the staples. He also has a little 'poop' in his ostomy bag, which means things are working :-) So thankful! God is good! Our little boy looks so much better already! When we come and talk to Ian he opens his little eyes once in a while, and has even smiled a little :-) Hopefully soon we can hold him again! Ryan has been doing well, and is now discharged!! We are so excited to have one of our twins home! He's still tiny though, but back to birth weight 4lbs 6oz (yesterday) We can now bring Ryan to visit his big/little brother :-) We can't put Ryan in Ian's bed yet because Ian is so full of tubes and IV's etc. there is no room in the bed for another baby, but we hold Ryan right by Ian and let them hold hands :-)
I only have time for a short post, because now I have to feed Ryan :-)

THANK - YOU to everyone for all the cards, money, flowers, prayers and support!



Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
