To free parking, that is... After 21 days as an inpatient you get free parking at Children's. How depressing! It has been quite a journey. We are definitely moving in the right direction though.
The plan of using the G part of the tube is going well so far! No vomiting! I'm afraid to even type those words. The surgeon stopped by and said that he will be thrilled if Landon continues to do well with feeding to the stomach because it is much easier to manage a G tube especially with such an active little guy (active to say the least!). It sounds like they want to test the G tube until Friday and if all goes well then he will have a real G tube placed. He said that it would not be a difficult surgery and that the site is still fresh and looks good. I hate the idea of doing this again but knowing that there really wasn't a way around it and that the G tube will be much less of a headache is comforting. Plus it will allow his body to do what it naturally should do- instead of bypassing the stomach.
So, it is all good news so far except that we aren't going home yet. Who know? Maybe there is another perk for being here for 4 weeks. :0)
