Cole's Recovery


Cole has been doing well. He was grumpy post surgery and little sore from his incision. I was suprised from his quick recovery. When Jason was 23 days old he also had pyloric stenosis. He was the youngest ever to have laproscopic surgery to repair this valve. He had lost a lb. and it took him 4 days in the ICU to get released. Looking back Jason was a lot sicker before he was diagnosed. Cole on the other hand was being watched much closer due to prematurity and being a multiple. I realized he was very sick after the last stool I had induced earlier that afternoon. Once he vomited during the night it was only a matter of scheduling coverage for the other siblings and deciding which hospital to go too. I preferred Childrens hospital with my single babies, but decided to drive to St. John's due to Cole's birth and history prior to this upcoming hospitalization. I'm glad I did. Well, the care was good, the surgeon was informative and cautious.(something I'm glad about with babies) And his recovery efficient. Cole is up to his normal feedings, stooling well and tolerating a 4 hour schedule once again. Thank goodness. By the way Cole didn't miss a beat he eats second and sleeps soundly, and lets you know when he wants to be up and out. He loves his pacifier ..................................
