GJ tube

Tomorrow Waverly goes in the hospital to receive a GJ tube in place of her g tube. We are doing this due to her lungs. Every time she's sick, her right lung is much worse than her left. The doctors think it could be due to reflux and aspiration. So we had a couple options. One was to do a Nissen fundoplication to prevent her being able to reflux. But that surgery is difficult and there was some concern with her feeding schedule and being on bipap at night, as well as the possible need for a tracheotomy in the future. 

So we instead opted for the GJ tube. This should help her if reflux and aspiration is the cause of her lung damage because her formula will go straight into her jejunum (intestine), and won't be in the stomach for it to reflux and cause aspiration. 

They plan to keep her overnight for observation because of the anesthesia used. 

The procedure is scheduled for tomorrow at 10:00am. We'd appreciate prayers. Specifically for the procedure itself, for her to handle the sedation well, for her health as she's battling another UTI and our oldest just came down with a fever, and for protection from germs while there. Thank you!
