Another Eli update

Of course nothing is simple @ the Johnson house. Eli was still not feeling well. Monday & Tuesday he was still spending his days on the couch. Wednesday(9 days post-op) the surgeon sent us for another xray & worked us in for a visit. We compared that film w/ the one from last Sunday. In a foggy mess of a belly was our answer-Eli was F.O.S.( full of stool). To such an extent his spine was curved from the pressure. So back to the ER we went. After an extremely long couple of hours & an enema the problem was solved. This was highly invasive & violating for the poor child. That evening Eli was TOTALLY back to normal. After 2 weeks of being sick I forgot how hyper my child is!!! Very Thankful all is finally well. Sorry everybodys been sick. Hope you all get well soon . Thanks for your prayers.

Eli Update

Just a quick update on Eli. He got sick Thursday night. I thought it was the same stomach virus Sam and I had so I didn't worry too much. By Saturday night Jamie had to carry him to bed because his cramps were so bad. He looked @ me with tears & said PLEASE make this go away. So I called the doctor Sunday morning & took him in. She said this is not good, go to the ER. So off we went- after 7 hours (and some much needed IV fluids & morphine) we were admitted for an appedctomy Monday morning. The surgery went well- minor reaction to the anthesia. We were released that night. He is still in pain today but moving around better - thanks to pain pills. Please continue to keep him in your prayers. Hope everyone is doing well.
