Poor Baby


As I mentioned from last weekend's post, my nephew Connor has been really sick lately. My sis took him into his Dr. Wednesday for another visit to figure out another plan to help him and long story short they scheduled a bunch of test today at the hospital and turns out he has "pyloric stenosis" a stomach disorder only 3 out of every 1,000 babies have. They admitted him to the hospital and he's having a surgery to repair it tomorrow and should get out Sunday or Monday. My poor nephew is almost down to his birth weight b/c he hasn't kept any food down from his projectile vomiting. And he's 2 months old! Geesh. Poor little guy. Say a little prayer for him please. I know the surgery will be fine and he will be all back to normal but he's so little to be having surgery :(

Prayers to Connor, you and your family!! After having Brody I know how hard it would be for your baby to go through surgery, you hate it when they are sick! Hoepfully this will take care of everything and he will be able to eat and gain some weight:)

Hey Girl I noticed that you had updated that everything went well with your nephew but I just wanted to say that my oldest had surgery when he was 10 days old to fix the same problem. It really seems to be more common than 3 out of 1000 babies because I know several people who have had this problem.
