April 14 Surgery

Today the surgeons attempted to get everything back in and close him up. They were able to get everything back in but his skin wouldn't stretch enough, so they left him open and we will wait for the skin to stretch and close him as soon as possible. The surgeon said Jack is doing better than he expected, but he said everything is going to take lots of time. He said that he will leave Jack alone for the next 2-3 weeks before looking into trying to feed him. He wants to see how everything reacts now that its inside. He still thinks Jack will be in the NICU at primary childrens for a few more months. We will keep posting pictures over the next few weeks, but things will be the same for awhile it sounds like. The first two pictures above were after Jacks surgery(They are keeping him completely drugged for the next 48-72 hours so he doesn't wiggle and harm himself). The other pictures were taken right before he went into surgery. He's definately a little PIMP!!!
