I talked to Jamie today. Below is her update.
So, Seth is going in to surgery tomorrow. He's tentatively scheduled for 11ish, but there's 2 babies ahead of him, so he could go earlier if one of the babies got canceled, or the surgeries went faster than anticipated, or he could go in later if the surgeries took longer than anticipated. SO. He'll go in, they'll put him to sleep, then they're going to do another endoscopy to try and see what's going on one more time, then the surgeon will open him up and get him fixed.
His blood platelet count was a TEENY bit high, so he's getting a plasma transfusion since he's getting operated on. Otherwise they would have just left it alone. Um, getting antibiotics in the morning, just to be safe... and I think that's about it.
Jamie is doing well considering all of this. I just can't imagine. It makes me so sad that my best friend has to experience all of this and that her brand new little baby has to struggle so much. As if being born at full term wasn't traumitizing enough for babies! He has bruises from getting blood drawn. He's swollen from all the fluids they try to keep in him. He's alone in an incubator a good portion of the time when all he really wants is to be in mommy's arms all day every day. Oh dearest Seth! Soon you can come home and be with mommy! Be strong tomorrow! Have faith! The doctors will fix you all up tomorrow! The Lord will help them help you! And soon you can go home and be with your awesome family! Please everyone pray lots for little Seth and the doctors tomorrow! And throw in a few for his parents too!
