Calvin will be having surgery at 11am tomorrow (Monday) for a J-tube (jejunal). This is similar to Katharina’s surgery in that it is a feeding tube; however, hers will be placed directly into her stomach by a paediatric surgeon (Dr. Jones) while Calvin’s will be placed directly into the small intestine by an interventional radiologist.
His surgery was originally planned for this coming Friday but a spot opened up for tomorrow morning so we are going ahead with that. Calvin will be in the Paediatric Critical Care Unit following his surgery as they are anticipating him needing to be on the ventilator as he recovers. We are praying his recovery will be quick so he can move back to the paediatric floor before too long.
Calvin was transferred to the paediatric floor on Friday evening – a MASSIVE step for our little guy and one that we and the medical teams never expected would happen. He was able to make this move because he is off the ventilator. Praise the Lord!
Calvin’s surgery is at 11am and Katharina’s is at 1pm – a big day for us tomorrow (Monday)! Please pray for our babes and their surgical teams. We will update when time allows.
