Christian's g-tube and Nessin procedure went well. The Nessin is tightening of his esophagus so that he is unable to reflux causing him to aspirate into his lungs. There has been no reflux since the surgery :) He has been in a constant feed to his g-tube since Saturday. They started with pedialite and are now doing breast milk. He is tolerating it all very well. He does have gas build up in his belly and it is causing him to be fussy since he is not us to that feeling. The g-tube was biggwr than what Hunter and i anticipated, but we are glad it seems to be working for his feeds. Hopefully in a month they will put the button and he wont have the bulky tube. He is still in the CICU to watch his vitals closely during this time. He should be going back to his regular room in the next few days. Hopefully they will be working on getting us discharged soon. God continues to answer prayers.
My five year old son and I just saw the precious video of Christian on the OCBF FB Page.
ReplyDeleteThese are my son's words in response: "Oh, I could just hug you, child! He is so beautiful! Oh, what a cute baby! Christian's Mommy, your boy is cute! I love you, little boy! Is Christian getting better?"
Our son has a tender heart, especially for children like himself who have been through "troubles", which is his term for anything associated with hospitals and surgeries.
We look forward to hearing that you are all home together at last! Blessings!
