My son has been having oral aversion. So on April 2, he will be getting a g-tube. One of the doctors told me that he would be able to go home a few days after. It will be great to have him home but, I am nervous about it, too.

They took him off the vent today. Yesterday, I found out he didn't need the another surgery they were talking about doing.

This past Wednesday they tried to get him off his ventilator but, he wasn't ready for it. He has been in a separate room since he got sick with MRSA but, yesterday they moved him back in the regular NICU room. So, no more wearing a gown and gloves to see him.

Two months ago I did not know what congenital diaphragmatic hernia. My world came crashing down on 19 of December when the doctor came in the ultra sound room and told me that my son had a diaphragmatic hernia and that I needed to go down to San Antonio because the hospital at fort hood did not have the equipment to deliver my baby. So, the next morning she told me that San Antonio Military Medical Center was going to admitted me that day and I needed to go right away. My parents took my 3 year son, Dylan. My husband and I took the three hour journey to San Antonio. The next 10 days where full of nst tests, ultrasounds, a couple of MRIs, and visits from doctors.

I woke up at three in the morning on new year's eve with a puddle of water on my bed. I knew my water broke and I went to get my nurse with the news. I vaginally delivered my son on 4:47 pm on new year's eve.

January 10, he had surgery to patch up his hole in his diaphragm. It went well but, they found some undeveloped lung tissue that they will need to remove before he is discharge from the hospital.

A few days later he became sick with MRSA. He fought it for a couple of weeks and I am happy to write that it beat the infection. Now, he is making process and I continue to keep positive thoughts about my son, Casey.
