Surgery Number Six
On Wednesday Silas had surgery to get rid of the posterior urethral valves (PUV). It was supposed to be an out patient surgery. There was a small complication with it. His anatomy is so messed up from his bladder and kidneys being swollen. When they went to put a catheter in him after the surgery was over it didn't go where it was supposed to, and went straight down through the bladder opening and nicked his rectum. They doctors were worried about infection, and were talking about him getting a colostomy. Thank God they were very proactive and started antibiotics right away. His is doing a lot better now, and should be out of the hospital by Monday.

Silas is Here!!!
Our newest baby Silas was born September 22nd. The docs took him a week and a half early because he was sitting in no amniotic fluid, and his bladder and kidneys were full of fluid. He had hydronephrosis because of posterior urethral valves. Right after he was born he was rushed to the NICU. His lungs were underdeveloped, his right one had a hole in it and he had pneumothorax. Since he was born he has had 1 procedure and 3 surgeries to save his kidneys. One surgery was a ureterostomy. It is when you take the ureters and bring them up to the sides. So, he pees out of his sides now. He is currently doing dialysis. Hopefully it will be only for a few weeks. If his kidneys still aren't doing their thang after that he will have to get a kidney transplant when he is one. Today I held him for the first time since he was born. He will be in the NICU for the next several weeks. We are just thankful he is alive and well!!!
