We are currently waiting for Demetri to get out of surgery. Yesterday they found pyloric stenosis on his abdominal ultrasound. This means that the muscle around the bottom of the stomach has become too big and is not allowing his stomach to empty properly.
He had a good night and morning. Because he is so hungry (they turned off his feedings at 2 am) he has found comfort in his pacifier. He was wide awake for most of the morning flirting with all of the nurses that came by to see him. He gained another half ounce last night and is weighing over 3 lbs 8 oz.
Demetri also got another echo this morning while waiting to go to surgery. This was because the doctor thought his murmur was different. We are still waiting to hear about that.
Please keep the little guy in your prayers.
