A new bump....

Hello everyone!
Hope December is treating you well. It has been a bit bumpy for little Elliot Finn. We left Scottish Rite hospital this Wednesday. Elliot had a condition called pyloric stenosis. Its where food in the stomach can't get to the intestines to be digested. There is a muscle called the pyloric that lets food out of the stomach. His was over developed causing very little food to digest, in the meantime the food (or milk in his case) was building up in the stomach with no place to go causing projectile vomiting.
This is the main symptom of the condition. (and it is horrible) 1 out of 400 kids get it. The cause is unknown. Still a mystery. Elliot had surgery on Monday. They went in through his belly button made a tiny slice on the pyloric muscle opening it up to allow food to pass through. He should be totally fine for the rest of his life. The surgery took maybe 15 minutes leaving no scars since he is so young.
All things considered it is not that big of a deal. There are a lot worse things out there. Lets just hope and pray this is all the bumps in the road for him.
It has been a crazy first month! Elliot is doing great now. Eating well and holding it all in! Yippie no more projectile!!!! Howie's collar bone is doing better. Lots of screws in his shoulder and a nice scar. Mom is doing fine. Ready for no more hospitals.
Hope everyone is ready for the holiday's!!! Drink and be merry..
