The worst day yet...

Today has just been a really bad day for Victor. We got a call last night before we went to sleep and they let us know that Victor had to get one of the drains put back in because it looked like his stomach was acting up again, somewhere between that time and 1:30am he really took a turn for the worst. They called us again and said that we should come in because Victor was really sick and they did not know if he would make it through the night. That was probably the longest 20 minute car ride of our life. It seemed as if the world was coming down around us, when we got there we could tell that he was really sick, they had him stabilized but just by looking at him he didn't look good. We just wanted to be there for our little man, at around 8 in the morning the head doctor came to see us and talked to us about what needed to be done. They told us that if our little boy did not receive a surgery that he would die. A surgery would be the only way they could really see what was going on in his stomach and fix it the way it needed to be. The surgery would not come without risks though they gave Victor only a 25% chance of even surviving the surgery. Like i have said many times before our little men are fighters! The odds have been against them since they were still in the womb so we knew that that number didn't apply to our little guy, and about 2 hours after they started the surgery our little man was recovering nicely. The surgery went better than they had expected they were able to really get a good look inside and clean him out, they took out the infected part of his intestine and were happy that not much of it had been infected. The next couple of days will be rough for Victor it will be a difficult time but as we all know this little guy shows no signs of giving up. Now his brother Los (Iliana is gonna kill me for calling him that..haha) is actually doing really good they have been able to go down on his ventilator settings even more and the drains in his stomach are doing well. They say the wont try and feed him again for another 2 weeks but he is gaining a little weight. So things have been pretty quiet for Los the last couple of days, now he has a tendency to play follow the leader with his big brother but we are hoping this is one day he will not try and repeat.
