Thanks to all of you who have been praying for Eli. He had his surgery this past Tuesday. Kelli found out today that he'll be moving into a room tomorrow and that they'll be bringing him home in just a few days! When they first found out that he'd have to have surgery, they were told he'd probably be in the hospital close to a month. Dr. Salazar met with them before the surgery and told them that he had one baby leave the hospital 10 days after surgery and that others had been in the hospital a month after surgery. Eli is proof that prayer works and that God still does miracles. So many things have worked out so that he was healthier and stronger than we first thought possible and he has done remarkably well after surgery. We can't wait to meet the little guy!
I saw Dr. Salazar yesterday and he mentioned that Eli would be going to a room but didn't say anything about going home. That's AWESOME!!! So glad that he's done so well.
ReplyDeleteUnless a room came open earlier, Eli's still waiting on a room. Kelli told us that they'll be able to bring him home as soon as they feel ready. I think they had removed most of the tubes by this morning and Eli was drinking 30cc of milk during his feedings. Kevin's grandfather is amazed that Dr. Salazar could do that type of surgery...he said that no one could do that for the money and that he is so glad that someone cares enough about sick babies to work so hard to see them get well.
