Surgery Thursday at 12:00 pm

According to the pediatric surgeon, Caden is the third surgery scheduled tomorrow. He is supposed to be taken around noon. However, as most things are around here, it is subject to change. It is most likely he will go in a little later than that.

In the surgery, they will put in the g-tube for feeding and they will wrap the top of the stomach around (Nissen) to create folds which will prevent any reflux back up into the esophagus. This will prevent him from aspirating any milk into his lungs. He will be unable to have any food by mouth until his left vocal cord starts working again.

Thank you for your prayers as Caden has another surgery. We especially want prayers for him to come off the ventilator quickly so that doesn't delay us in the hospital for a much longer time period. We will keep everyone posted as we know more.
