Welcome to the world URIAH!!!!
We are so excited for all of the fun cousin times to come!
Added to the upcoming schedule:
Aimee will be going in Monday, July 26th for upper GI imaging with radiology to make sure that all of her interior anatomy is normal prior to surgery. We will go in on Thursday, July 29th for a Pre-Op appointment with the Anesthesia clinic. Her surgery is currently scheduled for the following Monday, August 2nd. We should be able to leave the hospital by Tuesday evening, August 3rd. Follow up with begin on Monday, August 16th with a Post-Op appointment with the GI department. Approximately 3 months after the initial surgery, she will have a follow up surgery to place a final tube. 'Final' in the sense that she will not need any more surgeries. It will still have to be replaced every 3 months.
This will give a whole new set of appointments to attend to (oh joy!). There is some good news with it all though-I was told that there is a possibility, once we have installed the G tube, of being able to make her food again. It will be given through the tube, but at least she will be "eating" real food instead of that canned concoction. The nurse felt it was necessary to warn me that making the food is a lot of work. Haha! I'm pretty sure I already understand how much work it is to make baby food and that it is totally worth every second! So what if I have to run the processor for an extra minute and run it through a strainer. It is still only a possibility, however, and it will have to be approved by the nutritionist post procedure.
