Just an update, we are still in the hospital with Crew. We've been here for a week now, he had surgery on Thursday. After throwing up nonstop for a week, going to the pediatrician, E.R., GI doctor, etc., we were admitted to the hospital. He had what is called intacaception (although I have NO idea how to spell it). Basically, his upper intestines pulled back into his stomach then got stuck and started swelling, effectively blocking off the exit to his stomach. We will start feeding him again on Thursday to see how he does. If he does well, hopefully we'll get to go home soon after that. Cross your fingers.
Crew was absolutely miserable before surgery but ever since he is his normal, happy self ... despite an incision in his abdomen and his stomach being sliced in half.
Again, we feel very blessed for good doctors and great friends and family for helping us.

Oh Nat I'm so sorry. I wish so bad that I was there to help you out! Poor little guy. I'm glad that he is felling better though. We love you all and know that you are in our prayers.
Man, it doesn't seem very fair for someone so small and perfect to endure so much. Good luck to you all. Praying for you! Lots of love.
Nat,
Good luck! Hopefully they'll get it all fixed and send you on your way home!
Hey, this is Crystal, Nate's wife...I know we have never met, but I just have to comment because I just have to say how sorry I am with all the things you have had to go through since Crew has been born. It really makes me so sad to see him with tubes and everything. I don't know if you knew but our little boy was born the same day. It breaks our hearts to imagine Noah going through all that..I can't imagine how hard it must be to see Crew go through that sort of stuff. You are such strong parents! After reading your posts, it makes me want to try harder not to complain when he has a cold! Anyway, your children are darling! Maybe some day I will be able to meet you:)
We love you, we love you, we love you!!! Praying for a complete and quick recovery for Crew- also praying that there's angels, in all forms (seen and unseen) who are there since we can't be.
Hey Natalie,
You've been on my mind a lot lately! What a miserable last few weeks. I'm so sorry! Please know that your family is in our prayers. I'm glad that you have been blessed with capable doctors. Hang in there. Kiss Crew for us!
I can't imagine going through that as a parent. Hope you are hanging in there.
