Today was hard

I promise more of an update tomorrow. The day started with my bringing the other triplet parents breakfast and them bringing us dinner. (THANK YOU)

The other triplet trio is still going strong and the baby with pneumonia made it through the night, is doing better but is not out of the woods.

Aubrey did not have NEC and instead had an obstruction that caused another perforation that created an abscess of mostly curdled milk that resulted in part of the intestines being so sick that the surgeon had to remove about 15cm of bowels. That’s about 10% of his intestines.

The doctors said that the next 48-72 hours are critical. Aubrey already looks SO MUCH BETTER than he has looked even over the past week. Better than what we had believed was his “baseline.” He, too, is doing better but is not out of the woods.

I will provide more details tomorrow, but for now, my brain is mush.
