Today has been good to our son. His vitals are good and his vent. settings are the same, and he had a HUGE poop this evening! They gave him another suppository this morning because he had a lot of residuals building up, but at about 5 when Mommy helped with his cares, he had a nice full diaper, and a "barium plug". The barium they use in the contrast study solidifies and literally plugs up the bowel, so hopefully things are going to continue to make good progress. He is looking a little yellow because of high bilirubin levels, but they're giving him some meds to help with that. The only reason he has high bilirubin levels again is because he's been on the IV fluids so long that his liver can't filter it all for him. It will get better with time. We are just so incredibly happy to see the progress he is making. He looks better everyday and he is getting closer to coming home with Mommy and Daddy. We can't wait!!! Have a good night everyone!
