Carter did great with the surgery today. Our surgeon was unable to place the NJ tube, due to the shape of Carter's little stomach. This means Carter will have a GJ tube placed on Monday. Carter's abdomen and stomach will both have to be cut to place the tube. It is a pretty intense surgery. A healthy child would usually stay a week after the surgery, but we all know Carter so I'm expecting 2-3 weeks. Hopefully, he will tolerate the J feeds and we will come home with no TPN, lipids or cords 24 hours a day. I can't wait to let Carter crawl around freely without having to follow two feet behind him. Please continue to pray. Not only for Carter, but our surgeon and everyone involved in Carter's care. The past few months have been extremely tough for Carter. Although, we know God has a specific plan for Carter and one day we will be able to see it. Until that day we will praise Him. We are so thankful and honored He chose us to take care of Carter.
Praying for tomorrow!
