Update

Angel was admitted to the hospital last night and had a CT scan done of his tummy at 11:30pm. His pain has been a bit less today and he has been quite active. The CT was fairly inconclusive and the doctors think that he probably had a forming ileus (slowing/stopping of the intestines) that resolved on its own. They have restarted his feeds tonight and, if all goes well, he may even be discharged tomorrow (Friday)!! We have resigned to the fact that we probably will not be going home on Sunday. But that's okay. We need to make sure that everything is stable before we are 2 hours away. Will keep updated on when we're coming home so anyone who is interested can join us in welcoming Angel home.

Angel is such a fighter. He has been in my prayers. My friends in Haiti have a saying, "Kenbe fem!", "Stand Firm!"
