Successful Surgery

The surgery to place Teryn's new tube was a success!!!!! The doctor said it was a little tricky but they got it. I also made sure again that they were confident that it could be replaced at our home hospital if it happens to come out. The surgeon here said that Teryn's surgeon at home is one of the very best he has seen and he knows absolutely he would have no problem doing it.

She is back in the NICU and has been extubated (no more breathing tube down her throat.) The breathing tube was just for surgery in case of an emergency. She has woken up and looked at me a few times but she is still pretty "drunk" from the anesthesia. Once she fully wakes up she shouldn't really be in any pain. Maybe just some irritation around her gtube site. They are going to hold her feeds for today just so her tube can vent properly but she will be able to start getting food again tomorrow. However, they did say that if her IV happens to go bad then they can go ahead and start her feeds then.

Praise our Heavenly Father for keeping his hand on Teryn and the doctors. Also for His hand on me to keep me from falling apart in all of this. Thank you to everyone who has been praying. We still have lots of challenges in our future but nothing we can't handle with God's help and the support of all of you.
