G tube that is!! I am kind of afraid to get excited, but I guess I don't hesitate to get upset so this is a better feeling. Landon hasn't been on continuous feeds today. Usually he is getting 50cc per hour but today he gets a break for about 3 hours and gets double-almost triple that for 1.5 hours. He is given the opportunity to drink 5oz of formula and then it is put in the feeding tube. The formula is gross so he has only drank half of an ounce each time.
Since he is doing well, they feel that a G tube is the best option. Yayyyy!!!! He is on the schedule for tomorrow, and he begin feeds through the new tube right away. Sooo... there should be no reason why we can't go home this weekend and at the very latest, Monday. Surgery is going to perform the procedure and will put a camera into his belly and change the tube so the recovery shouldn't be bad. The miracle of modern science, right? I just hope we continue to get good news!
So happy you finally got a little bit of good news. We'll be thinking of you guys tomorrow and hoping you can head home soon!!!
