Brett is pictured above
I apologize that it has been a while since our last update. Since Gantt has come home, we have seen little sleep.
Gantt is over 6 lbs and he is doing great!! He is as sweet as he can be and Mark has been enjoying his company.
All last week, Brett was doing better. They began to give him MCT oil and it really helped his output decrease and gain weight. Over the weekend he developed another blockage. The surgical team had recommended that they perform the second part of his operation at the end of next week. With this new blockage they will look at him sooner and decide if they need to operate on it. If they do, then they will work on the blockage and reattach his intestines at the same time.
We really don't know what this new blockage is because it is hard to tell on x-ray. They will put dye in his system and then run tests to see a better picture of what is going on. After that, the surgical team will make recommendations. Brett is currently off milk and getting his nutrients through the IV again.
Even though we don't know what this new blockage is, we don't have a reason to think negatively. Please keep him in your prayers.
Happy Mother's Day! So excited to see new pics of the little guys. Praying for what this week will hold with Brett.

What beautiful pictures! Thanks for the update so we know how to pray for all of you. I think we were at the ped together the other day when I was there with Eleanor, but I didn't see you. Just parked next to a vehicle with ChicFilA decals. ;)Was tempted to run back in to give you a hug, but had my sis and all three kids in tow. Here's a virtual hug!
