Robbie just got out of surgery and is back in his pod in the NICU, resting. They were able to finally give us a better idea of what is going on with his bladder, colon, poophole, etc...Dr. Murphy, the surgeon, said that he has Bladder Exstrophy (which you can find info online) and an Imperforated Anus (also can be found online). They put a colostomy bag on him so he can relieve himself whenever he wants to now and in a few days be able to start eating.
Saree has been pumping milk since Monday and is very anxious to begin feeding him the food he deserves. He has been getting his nutrients through a PICC Line (souped up IV) since yesterday and is getting really hungry.
They still have to wait and see about the growth-thing on his head and when they are going to remove that, but it should be a fairly easy surgery and not a big issue.
Thank you for all the prayers and thoughts and please keep them coming because this is going to be quite a process to fix the bladder and anus.
