[QUOTE="mom_in_training, post: 45352, member: 2727"] Well Surgery went well (4 hours long) He is still in the hospital and today they are starting Pedialite to get him geared up for his feeding through the G-Tube. So far so good. I am truly amazed that my easy child is sooooo high spirited considering everything he is going through. Geeze I'm almost afraid that his laughing like this > [img]:rofl:[/img] is going to launch the G-Tube. In general after any surgery he would start coming out of the anestesia a basket case but this time no way, And this is like the biggest surgery that hes ever had. Today will be 15 days in the hospital and I can't wait to get him back home so that we can have some normalcy again. This time around though I guess I'll have some nurses assisting for a short period of time to basically train me on how to work with this G-Tube and whatever else. Its all new to me, But I will also be working on his therapy to eventually rid of it too. The fact that he has always enjoyed food and then all of a sudden have it be stopped so abruptly really bothers me, So with the swallowing therapy I am hoping that he does well enough to eventually rid of the feeding tube. Asperating will no longer be an issue for him since they did a Fundoplication (During the fundoplication procedure, the part of the stomach that is closest to the entry of the esophagus (the fundus of the stomach) is gathered, wrapped, and sutured (sewn) around the lower end of the esophagus and the lower esophageal sphincter.

Well, Off to the hospital. [/QUOTE]
