Samuel's Nissen surgery went well this morning and took less time than we were anticipating. The Dr. came out to talk with us after only an hour (9am). After a bit of time in the recovery room we were sent up to the Peds floor (room 5507) - where our pastor (Toby) was waiting for us.
Samuel is doing well, is off Oxygen and is resting peacefully (for the most part). It's just about 1pm now and we aren't expecting him to begin being fed back into his stomach for 24 hours, and then at 1/4 the full feed rate. In addition to performing the Nissen surgery this morning, the Dr also reinstalled the G-tube (ironically the one that had been on back order for months and we wound up having for just a few days before we moved to the G-J tube during our last hospital stay). Since Samuel hasn't been fed into his stomach in about a month we are hoping that his body readjusts well to it.
So far, so good. Will update with any changes, but we are anticipating being in hospital for several days as it will take a while to get him back to feeding and then back up to full feeds.
Thank you for your prayers; we remain increasingly indebted to you for your constant support.

Lots of love and prayers for you. Praying the stay in the hospital is not a lengthy one and the feedings go well.
So glad the surgery went quickly and without complications. We will continue to pray. --Ed and Marcie
Hey my friends.
Thought and prayed for y'all this morning as the sun was coming up. Amazing that everything went so well and grateful to the Master. If possible, would love to see y'all this weekend at the hospital. I'll call. Give my love to everyone (esp the kiddos).
