See Leah's update below ... Thank you, Lord, for answering our prayers. Please continue to keep them in your prayers as they go through recovery.
Hello All,
Grant is out of surgery and stable. They were able to go in laproscopically rather than with a huge incision. His left lung is about 1/2 to 3/4 the size of his right which is great considering that all of his large and small intestines, stomach and spleen were in fact stuck up in his lung cavity. It was not a hole in the diaphragm but turns out his diaphragm is actually missing completely on the back left side- like it just stopped forming back there. That made it really hard to put on a patch so they had to stitch the patch thru the inside of his skin and actually wrap it around his rib cage on the back side. We were not expecting that at all but sounds like they were able to make it work.
All in all a pretty good update. Our Feather Weight Champion made it thru the surgery really really well so we are thrilled on the inside, just overwhelmed and beyond exhausted on the outside. Heath and I are anxiously waiting for them to let us see him sometime after 8pm.
Let the recovery begin....
