Struggling
Well ... the little fella may have to be in for a little longer. Paton threw up a few times yesterday (Sunday) morning. The doctors had said that vomiting could be a sign that the shunt is not working. Paton was very lethargic all morning. But then around noon Jen fed him some pudding -- miracle food! He became his old self again, and had a great time with his siblings all afternoon (see picture below). But then this morning, he started vomiting again. So we are not sure he will be able to go home today, like we hoped. We want to make sure everything is working well so we don't have any more complications ... especially with Christmas coming! So right now we'll just have to "wait and see."

Hi John, Jen and crew. I just heard from Jen's dad today that Paton is back in the hospital. When I read your posts and saw the recent photos of him it brought back so many of my own childhood memories. Please know that Paton and all of you are once again on our prayer list and our whole church will be lifting him up to the Great Physician for a speedy recovery. I also took the liberty of posting a prayer request to my friends on Facebook so as I type this, prayers are being lifted up all over the world for him.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read about the programmable valve in his shunt I was just in awe! How amazing and wonderful it is that we have such technology available. My how things have changed(for the better) in the last 40 years. Hang in there and stay strong. I hope you will all be out of the hospital and home well before Christmas. Take care and God bless you all. God is good.
