Surgery # 8

 
My sweet boy...always smiling!

 Aiden is now recovering from his eighth surgery.  The surgeons were able to perform the Nissen fundaplication, Ladds procedure, hernia repair, and appendectomy.  Aiden also now has a G-tube.  So far the G-tube is only being used for venting his stomach during and after feedings.  This is necessary because the Nissen made it nearly impossible for Aiden to burp.  We are hopeful that he will continue to take all his feedings by mouth and we will not have to rely on the G-tube.  He has been so tough through it all.  Aiden was in the hospital after the surgery for five days.  We are now home and it has been a full week since his surgery. He has not vomited or spit up at all!!!  Praise the Lord for this blessing. We are hopeful that now he can begin to pack on the pounds :)

His swollen belly and all his battle scars. 
Relaxing and feeling much better.
