A really brief update, as I've been hit with another bout of bronchitis and looking forward to bedtime like never before. Little Bird made it thru yesterday's fundo surgery without any major events. Her surgeon was pleasantly surprised to get in there and discover that the gastrostomy scarring was a lot more minimal that he expected it to be. Therefore, no need to repeat the G-tube in a different location. The incision is pretty big, and the procedure took a while, but she was out of the operating room and in recovery by noon. She spent the night there under observation because they've been keeping her sedated and controlling her pain before she even experiences any. They raised the vent pressure settings and oxygen a good bit to give her little body a break. But, she's as comfortable as she can get at the moment. She's stabile and snoozing, and will hopefully be more alert tomorrow. With any luck, I'll have this bug gone as soon as possible, as well as a less generic post for everyone. Thank you all, so much, for keeping Little Bird in your thoughts and prayers. Until all of this, I've never witnessed this kind of power in action. It really is incredible, and it continues to prove to be some of the best medicine for her. Words will never be able to describe how much it means to us.
