He was diagnosed with NEC when he was 5 days old. He was started on antibiotics that same day and went into surgery the day after they found it (which was the day before my birthday). They told us that they weren't sure how bad it was until they opened him up. I prayed that everything was going to be fine and that was all I wanted for my birthday. 2.5 hours later the doctor came out and told us that he was as good as it gets. He had a colostomy for a month and half. He went back into surgery later to get reconnected and everything was perfect. It was probably one of the scariest times of my life. I'm so thankful that everything went well! My son was born at 39 weeks. He was diagnosed with NEC when he was 5 days old.
