Out of Surgery

And everything went well. She now has a little button for her G-tube feeds. They are planning on keeping her on pedialyte for today and quickly bring her up to full feeds tomorrow on alimentum. We're not sure yet if she will be home for her birthday party on Sat, but likely we'll have to postpone.

However she still has 90% stenosis in a small segment. Talking to the surgeon that likely means that she will have to wait until she gets bigger and is fully off the vent before they try to reconstruct, sometime in the spring.

She's back on cpap now though which is good, and she was cranky and fussing a lot when she got up, probably from all the new tubes and surgery.

Glad that everything went well.
Sofia conditionns are the most important thing we have to consider. Birthday party we can wait until she is well and healthy and back home.

I'd be cranky too! Hang in there Sophia and keep getting better.

We agree with Jaxmom: cranky and fussy are GOOD signs of a very intelligent, sensible reaction on Sofia's part. We're excited about her chances to grow and so relieved that the surgery went well. Every day is a day to celebrate!
Love,
Grandmommy and Granddaddy

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I hope Sofia is feeling better from the surgery and that she'll start to grow well now. Hope she is back home today.
You guys have done such an amazing job your first year as parents, you should be so proud of yourselves.
