Last Friday I took the day off of work to pick up Keller to bring
him home but on the drive to the hospital we got a call from Evergreen saying
that they were worried about Keller’s hernia and that he would not be able to
come home with us and they were planning on surgery.
Fast forward to today…
110 days ago Keller was born at Evergreen weighing 2lbs 3oz
. Today Keller weighs 9lbs 1oz and is
ready for his next adventure. He was transferred today to Swedish NICU for his
surgery tomorrow at 10:30. He is having
his hernia fixed. Shelly and I are very
hopeful that this will cure the pain that he has been in. He is such a happy little guy and it breaks
our heart when he is in pain.
The need for a hernia surgery is common for preemies but it
usually happens when they are older but the doctors feel his pain level
justifies the risk to do it now. We met
the surgeon today and we feel comfortable that will be in good hands.
If all goes as planned we are hopeful that he will be coming
home in 5 days.
Please pray for his surgery and speedy recovery.
Thanks
Micah
