Today was another milestone reached in our precious little Matthew's life.
The Prof pushed all of his intestines into his abdomen, removed the bag and stitched him closed.
The operation seemed relatively uneventful compared to last week's major surgery and the Prof and anesthetist came out looking pretty happy.
The Professor is a man of few words, he just walked out of the NICU unit (where they performed the operation due to the fact that it is too risky to move Matthew) gave my son a nod and walked on. The anesthetist stopped to give us and the Paediatrician a brief update, saying it looked fine and all seemed to fit and that was it.
Latest update from the hospital this evening is that he is stable but very swollen. They are leaving all his meds at their current level until the swelling goes down.
They have increased his oxygen on the ventilator too to help minimise him straining to breathe.


They have, however, removed his catheter which makes this granny VERY happy - poor little mite.
