Before, the morning of the surgery...
Thursday afternoon, 2 days after surgery
We're home! Sorry I didn't post to the blog while in the hospital - I had some more important things to attend to :) Caleb's surgery went remarkably well. He fell asleep in my arms in the preop room and has recovered very well. So far no fistulas (little holes) so we are holding out hope that we won't have another surgery for another year or so. He is drinking his bottles but isn't too happy about not getting his solid food. His big brown eyes just stare at you longingly as you eat - its enough to make anyone feel guilty! We had great nurses and a wonderful roommate (hi Riley!). We feel so very blessed by the whole experience. It could have been so much worse and it isn't fun to watch your little person hurt. But the nursing staff did a great job with his pain management and taking care of us. I sure don't want to have to do it again (and I'm sure Caleb doesn't either!) but we are convinced that God continues to just put his hand on our little guy. Thank you so much for all the prayers. They were felt and appreciated and answered! Continue to pray for his healing and for the adjustment of the rest of the kids. It hasn't been easy to have Mom away for 3 nights and poor Ken has been running crazy. We're all ready for a little bit less chaos in our home!

WOW!! Melissa he looks great! Glad things are going well! We will hope 'NO FISTULA'. Hopefully you will have quieter times around the Holiday! Thanks for posting...I have been wondering how it went!
Weikels: He looks absolutely awesome!!!! What a nice repair they did! We are praying that things get back to normal...or as normal as they can be with families like ours, very soon. Lots of love, The Stewarts
Hi guys! Caleb looks great. I know that God has him (all of you) in His hands. Just think - his first Christmas, tree, presents, etc. Our little one is amazed by our tree and all the lights as I'm sure Caleb is as well. We'll continue to pray for all of you. Thanks for the update.

Melissa,
They did a WONDERFUL job! Praying NO fistulas will happen or form. That's key. Is he having NO-NO's? Just wondering......
Glad your home now.
