Surgery is Complete...

The surgery finished up around 1:30 CST. Elijah did great and is resting comfortably now. He looks good and is starting to swell some now. The full extent of his swelling should be realized by tomorrow afternoon. They were able to accomplish all that was needed with minimal blood loss. He really looks different, as his head isn't "pointed" in the front, but more of a flat forehead. Dr. Fearon is really please with the results. The incision looks really good as well. They are hoping to begin feeds through the G-tube this evening.

The anesthesiologist was really impressed with his esophagus. She said if we had not told her, she would not have known he had anything done to it. A true testament to the work of Dr. Hess in Minnesota. We thank God for him and the staff there, as well as the Dr. Fearon and the staff here. Two wonderful institutions God is using to accomplish great work.

We cannot describe how truly blessed we have been throughout this whole ordeal. God has been so patient and merciful to us. We are truly eternally grateful for all He has done. Nothing could have ever been accomplished without him. We truly praise his holy and precious name. He is so good!!!!

Thanks to all who have kept up with us and prayed for us. We are truly thankful..

God Bless....
