Me and Daddy waiting on surgery.
The surgery went great! Matthew has a little incision right above his naval area. We are not concerned about it because it will be first of many scars we are sure. :)
Once back in the room, we were able to start feeding Matthew. We started at noon with 1/2 oz and would increase it 1/2 oz every 3 hours depending on if he kept it down. If he did not keep 1/2 oz down then we would have to stay at 1/2 oz before moving to 1 oz. Anyways, at the Noon and 3pm feedings, he did not keep it down. Can you say what a blow to our already shaky emotion?
Matthew kept down his 6, 9, midnight, and 3 am feeding!

We were happy with the news from Dr. Gilbert that we were going home! :) We had a minor set back when the nurse didn't give pain medicine and he started hurting and threw up everything up. But that didn't stop us from going home!
Once home Matthew threw up a couple of times. We were pushed over the emotional barrier! I mean, we worked so hard to get him fixed, and it seemed like in that very moment, we failed. We didn't give up, but pressed forward. So I am proud to say that Matthew has not gotten sick since March 30, 2011 at 11pm. *Knock on Wood*
We go back to see the doctor next Thursday for just a follow-up.
~~Until Next time~~
