Erik, the fighter

So, Erik is doing better right now. He ended up having a major surgery. He had a feeding tube put in, a valve put on his esophogus, and they found out he had 2 spleens, so they took one out. They then closed him up, took him to rocovery and gave him morphine. So, at first he was kind of out of it. Yesterday though, he was alert and even babbling. So, he is recovering and will hopefully begin to gain weight. They gave him pedialyte today and if he does well with that, they will start him on formula. Now he should gain weight. In fact, I can hardly wait to see what he'll look like bigger. He has always been so tiny. He is 12 mos. old and weighs less than 9 lbs! So, that is the update for now. Erik is quite the little fighter. I am so proud of him!
