Kade's surgery went well. He did have to get a small dose of pain medication so they could put the epidural in. They all said he did really great and we are happy that we won't have to go through withdrawals again. The surgery was a little over 3 hours long. Dr Azarow said that he did have to remove about 3 to 4 inches of Kade's intestines to reattach them. They will be keeping a very close eye on him for the next few days to make sure nothing seems abnormal. It sounds like he won't be getting any formula in his G-button for about 5 days. This should give his body enough time to heal from today's procedure.
He woke up in a great mood in his new room 513. He was really happy and just wanted to play. It was good to see him without a tube in his nose. He is a little puffy and we were warned that he might get that way for a few days, but it's nothing compared to when he spent his first week here. After about an hour of play he started sleeping again and has been doing so for most of the night. He did have to get a little extra medication from the epidural around 8 tonight to help with the pain.
Thanks for thinking of Kade and praying for him. He is a special boy to have each of you care so much for him.
