Callie’s surgery today went well. She is now in pediatric intensive care recovering from the procedures. She is breathing on her own, with help from her bipap machine as needed. She’ll spend one night in ICU, then will go back to a regular hospital room tomorrow if things go as planned.
I carried Callie into the operating room and held her until she fell asleep. After the anesthesiologist released the medicine through her IV, Callie said, “Night night,” and went to sleep.
The surgery took longer than we expected, mainly because the surgeon discovered inflammation in Callie’s lower esophagus that was the result of reflux. He said it was really good that we opted for the Nissen procedure, which is designed to limit reflux, along with the G-tube, which was the primary reason for today’s surgery.
Her G-tube is in place and already has been used to give her pain medicine. Christy and I will post more updates as things change.
Arrived at yuor web blog through Bing. You already know I will be subscribing to your feed.
So great to hear about the successful surgery and know this will allow Callie to grow stronger with the nutrition she can get with this process. Things sound encouraging and know we were anxious yesterday morning around 10:30 with you……continuing our prayers for Callie and you & Christie…hoping you both are getting some rest inbetween all that’s going on…praying for your strength during this difficult and long period. Know we are thinking about all of you.
Glad to hear that the surgery went well. I was thinking about you guys all day yesterday, but had already put my prayer request in. Nathan & Christy continue to stay strong.
So glad to hear that the surgery went well! I will continue to keep all of you in my prayers. Tell Callie Hi for me.
My 6th grade girl’s PE/Health class was studying about body systems the day of Callie’s surgery. I showed them Callie’s Website and used it for a lesson. The girl’s circled up and prayed for Callie during class while she was in surgery.
Praise the Lord! My loving thoughts and prayers are with all of you. God can perform miracles and that is my prayer for precious little Callie.
Know how much I care and pray for Callie’s recovery.
Much love,
Beverly Crotts
