Surgery - February 13

Hi, all.  James will have surgery tomorrow at Children's to close the G-tube site.  We don't know what time yet (they call the evening before) but it should be early morning.  This is "routine" and should only take about an hour with a small amount of time in recovery and home the same day.  We'll keep you posted!

James has been doing so much better!  He is eating like a horse and gained 2 1/2 pounds, all the weight he lost and then some!  The tube site actually looks a lot better and might (might!) close on its own if we let it be, but due to insurance we can't wait any longer.  We also think that the hole in his stomach is part of the reason he is struggling to poop and hope things will get better once it is closed.

He is moving everywhere and spending lots of time on his tummy now that the tube is gone.  We have been surprised by all the mischief he can get into now.  :D  Here is an example of one of his messes:

He is also training to join the Pilegaard Nerf Fights.  He needs a little more practice.  :D

With love.
