More info

I just spoke to Elizabeth on the phone. They are at Cardinal Glennon. They were evaluated and the doctors believe Carson's stomach is twisted. As a result, food is not able to pass through the stomach. This could have happened before, during, or after his procedure on Thursday. Ultimately, as frustrating as it is, we are just praying we can successfully get this fixed so our sweet boy can come home. With his stomach being twisted, our biggest prayer is this can be fixed without harm to Carson, it can be done without having to open him up all the way (so hopefully done laparoscopically), and he can heal well. We do not know what time he will have surgery tomorrow, because the doctor's schedules are busy. We will update as we know, but please just pray for wisdom, skill, knowledge for the doctor's and success. They may have to make a third incision for his G-tube, because if his stomach is twisted the current site probably won't work. Thank you for your prayers. Carson has been a trooper through this whole process and continues to light up the room with his smile.

Prayers

Please be praying for our strong little guy! Carson has been vomiting everything he has been given since Friday night when he got home from surgery. Preston and Liz called his doctors and spent this morning traveling up to St. Louis for Carson to be seen. So far, they have done a study to determine if the tube is in the right position and if anything is emptying from his stomach. The G-tube appears to be in the right location, but nothing is exiting his stomach. Essentially, he has been throwing everything up, because none of it is leaving his stomach, but more food has continued to be pushed into his stomach. My heart just breaks for him, because that would be so uncomfortable. The miracle is that he still smiles through it all. We are just praying for answers and ability for the doctors and staff to fix this problem. At this point, they are unsure what the problem is, so we pray for wisdom. Also, please pray for Preston and Elizabeth for peace, strength, patience, and wisdom. Thank you
