G-Tube surgery is over

Well Finnian got a call to come in earlier for his surgery on monday Oct.22. I brought him in to the OR and got to stay with him while they put in his I.V. and they gave him laughing gas that was funny as he laughed himself to sleep. Then not 20 mins later there was his surgen and GI doc telling me that it was all over and that everything went very well and his tummy looked good and they had put in a micro button. The bad news was that we would have to stay over night. Well we stayed in for two nights and got to come home on Wednesday with a whole load of supplies and a a little feeding pump.
THe out come is for now he will still eat by mouth anything he will eat and drink but we have to give him an over night feed through the pump. They want him to gain 3 to 5 pounds over the next few months. When his seizures are bad now I won't have to panic because he cannot eat or take his meds I will be able to feed him and give him his meds through the pump.
The next appointment he has is on monday with his seizure doc we will just have to wait and see what she has to say.
Bye
