Quick Update
by Megan
Eli is settled in his room. He’s doing fantastic! At about 4:30pm he started waking up, they wanted him to wake up some before taking out some tubes. Yep. They already took out some tubes…on the day of surgery! Yay!!! He is off the ventilator and the NG tube. He’s been awake on and off since having the tubes removed. Each time he stirs awake he asks for something to drink, unfortunately he can’t have anything for 4 hours after the ventilator is removed. For now he’s just resting.
Here he is post surgery. At this point he was out of surgery for about an hour.
Here he is with less tubes. He already looking tons better.
Thank you so much for all your prayers, encouragement, love and support. We really truly appreciate it.
Ooh…hard to see the lil guy with all the tubes in him. Fun and cute to see puppy was always close by. We’re thanking God for the miracle of medical technology, and for Eli’s successful surgery.
Praise Him from whom all blessings flow. May He grant Mom and Dad a peaceful night’s rest next to Eli tonight too. Love to you all.
Continued prayers with you and yours, and praises for all! Thanks for keeping us posted, Paula
YAY!! He looks great! Praying you get out in 5 days and then you can laugh at the doctor! :)
What a little punky peanut. Prayers for you all as he continues to heal from surgery and return to “normal” life at home.
