Many Hospital Visits

The first picture was just his lab tests. It was a rough day prior to being admitted to the hospital. He had nightmares for a few days after and he woke up every hour for three nights. The second picture is when he got his liver and gall bladder biopsies during the first week we were at the hospital. I use it as a measure for how big his belly was compared to the last picture and also how yellow he was. The third picture was just after his Kasai procedure. He had two tubes in his nose, one in his mouth, one in his stomach, one in his bladder, one in his neck and an IV in his hand and foot. Just after surgery, the one in his mouth came out because he was breathing so well on his own. The next day, they took out the one in his bladder, neck, and the IV's came out and one permanent one, a picc line, went in and we were allowed to leave PICU, pediatric instensive care, and move out into a private room (it was like a suite! the only one in the infant unit with its own shower). The fourth day of his surgery, Weston tore out the tube in his nose which went all the way down to his stomach. They said this one could come out after Weston had a bowel movement so we were worried that they might have to put it back in. However, Weston was unconcerned: he had a poopy diaper. On post-op day 11, everyone's nerves were pretty shot and so were Weston's. He tore out the tube in his stomach. If he hadn't I don't know if we would have gotten to go home. We spent three weeks in the hospital with one weekend break after week 1.
