And a fresh attitude to fight comes along with it. Today has been an up and down day for Cutler as we try to get his stomach adjusted to having food in it. From what I understand, the objective is to have the pump up to 50 ml per hour before he can head home and we can’t get to 20 ml per hour without him vomiting.Â
So far he has had three big vomiting sessions today and leading up to the vomit, he is in tremendous pain crying out like I have rarely seen from him. However once he vomits, he is usually happy go lucky and the pain is gone. After the last episode, we turned the pump down to 10 ml per hour and at midnight, when he gets more medicine to help with the nausea, they will bump it up to 15 ml and then we will keep increasing by 5 ml every four hours to see how he goes.Â
Based on today, I find it highly unlikely that he will get home tomorrow, but that’s alright as we want him home only when he is ready to come home. Dr. Ghisoli is doing everything he can to get him home, but I did warn him that once he gets home the house calls (reminder: he lives right around the corner from us) will soon start and he said that as long as there is beer we should be good. 🙂 Now that’s a health plan the congress should look into passing.
By the way, thank you to everyone for their thoughts, prayers, comments, and reaching out to me. I would like to be as positive as possible at all times,  but I also want this blog to truly represent what we are experiencing so that we can use it against Cutler when he starts to give us grief in his teens. 🙂

Aaron, We’ll be coming in on Monday evening. Could you rent a motorized scooter so I can continue my stalking when we get down there?

I was trying to not let him know you were coming in town. I fear he will keep Cutler in the hospital longer to keep you up here where he has security readily available.

For some reason my previous comment was not posted. Know that you all continue to be in the Borger family prayers. How hard it must be for you to see your precious little baby in pain, but he’s going to be a tough little boy! (He is already).
He will cover you with His feathers
And under His wings you will find refuge.

I know your little fighter will continue to get better and better—as always we pray for all of you and for Cutler’s complete healing. I can’t imagine this cutie giving you too much grief during the teen years, but it is always good to have leverage!
