Day 1: Arrived at hospital following transport from Good Sam. Hooked up to all medical monitoring devices and equipment. Began stabilization and evaluation period. Placed on prostaglandin to keep ductus valve open and enable blood flow from heart to lungs until surgery intervention. Placed on TPN and lipids for nutrition. Underwent ultrasounds on brain and heart. Completed x-ray of chest and abdomen. Confirmed abdominal omphalocele. Scheduled surgery for Thursday, March 13th to repair omphalocele as well as crown jewels (aka. circumcision).
Special thanks to nurse Eve for taking care of Hudson!
An even bigger thanks to our wonderful immediate family for their support and assistance today...we could never have made it without their help. From Jon's parents and siblings sitting at hospital to brother-in-law Ross taking off work to watch the kids to Ashley's mom driving immediately down from South Bend to be in attendance, we cannot thank you enough. It meant the world to us to have you all present and we will forever be grateful for today.
