Oh you guys - my sweet little brand new grandson had to have emergency surgery this morning for "Pyloric Stenosis"! He's been having trouble keeping food down (my daughter breastfeeds) and Thursday it got really bad, projectile vomiting EVERY meal. She brought him in and he had lost weight. They made an appointment for him the next morning for an ultrasound and he lost MORE weight by then! It was scary! They admitted him right away and I went up the hospital with her until her boyfriend could get there, and it was just heartbreaking. He could barely even cry - he was dehydrated and I can't even explain how sad it was. Anyway, they finally did the surgery this morning (basically the muscle that goes from the stomach to the small intestine had thickened and they had to snip it to allow food to get through) and he's doing MUCH better already! As long as he eats and doesn't vomit, they will most likely be home tomorrow. Positive thoughts are always appreciated! Here's my poor little guy before surgery:
And here's the cutie pie after surgery (still a bit groggy!) with his very-relieved mama:
PHEW! That was not fun - having children is not for the weak. I find myself still bursting in tears randomly... so emotional. My daughter and I are wicked close, too, so I've been just as worried about HER as I was about HIM!
