Kid is doing well. Orthopedic doctor was in- they are going to be putting him in a harness to help his hips- hopefully that will work, if not will be another surgery.

As the photo's show, Tristan is back doing Billi treatments- other then that he is doing well. They've adjusted the antibiotics, he's off the vent, blood sugar is good, etc. Now if we could do something about his drool problem (well actually it's due to the tube, but he's a kid, they all drool). They did an echo of his hips- so the PT will know what she/ he has to work with. He has started to poop a bit, but he's not hooked to the ostomy bag yet. They are also going to try to feed him soon.

Started at one hospital, ended the night at another. Wound up with one of those premie conditions that required surgery and the hospital he was at only has a medical NICU. Something really scary and sucky about surgery being done on a 2lb 5oz person. Hell, our cat weighs more then the kid. Surgery went as well as can be expected- can't fix it all now (he's just too small), so he's going to be on an ostomy bag until he's a year old/ 20ish lbs. They had to give him more blood this morning- oh and the cocktail of antibotics...

This kid is sooooo gonna be in trouble when he gets older. Got to hospital around 5ish- he was showing sighs of having problems. By 10 PM he was being transferred to Children's Hospital for surgery. He had developed Necrotizing Enterocolitis . Dr. Glick believes that the hole is in a part of the colon that is very low- so basically Tristan will have the ostomy bag until he is a year old/ 20ish lbs. It's going to be a long road and now we have to get used to being at a new (to us) hospital.
