This is how I roll...

Right now we are just waiting for the surgeons to come back in town (on the 27th) to get Waverly scheduled for a nissen fundoplication. Basically, after getting her g-tube, she was throwing up a lot from reflux. They've tried several different tricks to get her to stop, but she continued to do so, and with her high risk of aspiration, it wasn't safe. So, until then, she's just been hanging out. They stopped her feeds for a while, but now have her back on 3 ml/hour just to keep a little bit in her tummy. She's getting the rest through IV nutrition. She also got a PIC line today. Hopefully we'll have a date for surgery soon, and she'll be that much closer to coming home. In the meantime, here's how she's been hanging out...

That pic shows her g-tube spot also. It's that big round thing with the tube coming out of her stomach. I'm slowly getting used to it!

Whenever they have to take her anywhere in the hospital for a test, this is how they transport her.
She doesn't seem to mind it too much. It's nice and warm and quiet in there, and she seems to like looking around at everything.

Anyway, I will keep you all updated on any new news and the surgery date, once we know. Thanks, as always, for following her story and for praying.
