Long day, but no complaints. The surgery didn't get started until nearly 5 o'clock as an emergency took precedence. LJ was an absolute trooper, especially considering that we weren't allowed to feed him anything after 6:30 this morning. Aside from the delay, everything seems to have gone very smoothly. The surgeon had no problem putting in the g-tube. LJ is lethargic from the anesthesia, but he got some morphine for pain just after the surgery and the surgeon expects the pain to be manageable with Tylenol from here on. Even better, if everything continues to go smoothly, she thinks that Lewis may be able to come home tomorrow night.
At the moment, our man is on an IV and trying to get some rest. In the morning, they'll try some clear liquids through the new g-tube. If that goes well, formula in the afternoon and potentially, bedtime at home tomorrow night. Thank you for all your thoughts, prayers and general positive mojo.
thinking of you all and looking forward to a little vacay in HH with you - should be a good time -
