Evan update

Evan had to be admitted to the hospital on April 30 for a pyloric stenosis - blockage of muscle from his stomach to his small intestine. He is all better and got home today (May 2). He really came through like a champ. Mom and dad on the other hand were probably worse off than him.

He has 2 tiny incision marks and one in the belly button. He won't need anymore surgeries. He is back to eating normal, no projectile vomits so far. We are so happy we caught it early and he didn't get too dehydrated.

We went in to the clinic thinking it was acid reflux flaring up and the medicine was causing the vomiting, but luckily we have a fabulous doctor and she ordered an ultrasound that found the block. Off we went to Blank Children's Hospital and spent 2 nights.

Grandma Kate, Aunt Lindsay and Grandma Lois all came and stayed with us - thanks guys!

Mom exhausted the night before Evan's appointment - we had the vacuum out to try to calm him down. We were desperate!

Here are some pictures of his stay.

No more monitors or IV's - only a band aid! Tough little guy. Lou welcomes Evan back home.

thanks to everyone for the gifts, thoughts and prayers. We needed them and they worked!

Love,

Amy, Nick and Evan
