We have finally made it to Eagan's due date, July 24! How crazy is it that he is over a hundred days old and just now reaching his due date. It hurts a little to know how much he has been through because we couldn't make it to this day, but it makes me so happy that this day has been marked with such good things. I finally feel like I can exhale because my boy is actually getting better. He still needs his reconnection surgery, but that is just a big step towards coming home. I really haven't been given a time frame for that happening though. Tomorrow, he is going on a field trip down to Radiology to do a mucous fistula-gram. Dye will be inserted through the other side of his intestines to make sure there is no scar tissue or narrowing keeping his food from making it all the way through.
