You'll be glad to know that an 8 lb Ms. Tenley is doing a-ok. The surgery went well. The surgeon did note that her stomach had shrunk a bit due to bi-passing it for the last week to reduce the reflux, but thats no biggie. She is currently on some Tylenol and a constant epideral drip into her spine to lessen her pain. Over the last few hours she has started showing a few more signs of discomfort so they are re-evaluating her dosages. For now, the Doctors just have to closely monitor her pain levels for the next few days. I'm headed up tomorrow night so I'll make sure she's taken care of ;)
For the surgery, she had to be intubated - back on a breathing assistance machine. It was stated best case scenario would that she would be intubated over night with the possibility of it coming out the next morning. Well, she is no longer intubated and is breathing just fine on simply nasal oxygen. Good job Tenley! If she can keep this up for another 48 hours, they will begin slowly introducing food.
I hope Will's surgery on Friday goes just as well...he is a whopping 9 lbs!
