You POOPED!!!

My darling EJ,

You are AMAZING!!! Here we are almost 4 days after surgery and you have almost returned to normal!!!

You have finally gotten most of the air outta your gut (through pooping, farting, and belching - all the things that make you a guy!). You have had the most productive 24 hours EVER!

Wednesday morning you kinda scared Mommy. You started spitting up stomach acid and your nurse had to call Dr. A to see if he wanted to put in a NG Tube (tube placed through the nose, down the back of the throat to the stomach to vacuum out excess acid/fluid). Dr. A said to wait and see if the spitting up increased (which it didn't thankfully!).

Mommy spent a lot of the day picking you up to let gravity help us with moving everything through you! Thankfully, it worked!!! You have pooped LOTS!!! As a matter of fact, you almost blew out a diaper already! :)

And Dr. A made a surprise visit last night at 11pm! (Holy crap) And he said the most amazing thing... Feed you!!! YAY!!!!

You had your first bottle at 12:10am and it was 2oz. Took your second bottle at 3:45am and that was 2oz as well. Mommy is gonna start you off slow - Dr. A said we could give you 3oz every three  hours.

I am playing this all by ear because I am very curious how much poop I will be looking at. And what the consistency will be.

But I am so proud of you, little man! You are *truly* amazing!

I love you cute boy!
Mommy
