Surgery Update

Austin's surgery went well yesterday. He did need to be intubated and under general anesthesia as his respirtory system just wouldn't have been able to function properly with conscious sedation. Austin and Gina spent the night in the hospital and he is now back home with us. I really did miss the little noises that Austin makes throughout the night. He has a follow-up appointment with the eye doctor on Friday morning.

Every nurse or doctor that comes into contact with Austin and reviews his medical charts is amazed by how strong Austin is and how well he is doing. We give all of the credit to our creator above for watching over Austin and allowing us to enjoy this precious little life.

Austin weighed 5 pounds, 2 ounces today. He is inching in on his older brother's birth weight which was 5 pounds, 13 ounces.

  • So sorry that the ROP moved that quickly. I will talk to St. Lucy [patroness for eye issues] for his complete and total healing. Congrats on him bouncing back from surgery so quickly. Amazing little fellow.
