Feedings Round 4!

Lincoln is doing ok... we met with surgeons and his doctor today and they've decided against attempting another surgery! Our surgeon told us that Linc cannot make it with the loss of more intestine and as he is now there is the possibility he will have to be tube fed for part of his life or maybe even his whole life. That is soo scary for us but the good news is that they are confident that he is going to survive this whole ordeal. They said his brain scans are decent, there is the area of damage but it is small and he has every chance at having a very good quality of life. Since they have no more options regarding his bowel they are going to go ahead and surgically insert a new larger feeding tube into his stomach and begin feeding him elecare again tomorrow. Their thoughts are that maybe his intestines and stomach just need to get used to the formula and adjust. They are also planning on removing the ventilator and putting him back on cpap this week. That would be wonderful so his lungs can begin to heal and he can cry again! He has definitely turned into a big boy and is doing cute baby things!
