Landon Joines' Update Blog

When Landon was born, on April 20th, 2009, his small intestine had twisted and died. The doctors told us Landon would not survive. God intervened and we learned Landon could survive with a small intestine transplant. He lost his small intestine and doctors kept him alive on total intravenous nutrition for more than two years. He received a transplant on June 17th, 2011 at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, NC. This blog records the continuing story and miracle of Landon.

Landon Comes Home

Landon came home yesterday evening. He was very amused by the toys hanging over his crib. He is very alert and seldom cries.

It was late in the day by the time he was discharged from the hospital. He came home with a big box full of TPN and medical supplies. He was sent home with a battery powered pump for his TPN and lipids. The pump is very compact and light weight. A nurse was at the house to meet them when they got home. They are getting settled in and prepared to care for Landon.
