Our Little Fighter!

Little LIncoln is still fighting! He is stable and comfortable. He is much much more swollen than yesterday so it was difficult for him to open his eyes tonight but he tried. He had a large amount of blood in his diapers today and they aren't sure why he is so swollen. A different doctor was on today and we met with her. She said she is very concerned about Lincoln seeming to be in a little more pain today and also with the blood in the diapers. She suggested we call the surgeon and have him checked. The surgeon on duty today is also the one that specializes in NEC and is very experienced. She told us that she will not attempt surgery on Lincoln. She said he is already left with very little small intestine from the last surgery and would not be able to survive if he lost any more intestine. She told us the only option we have is to watch him and keep him comfortable.. so that's what we are doing. We did not get to do his baptism today due to the different exams and tests they were doing but we hope to do that tomorrow. Hope is not lost for little Lincoln...
