Home!

We are home! Carmen had her G-tube (feeding tube in her tummy) surgery on Thursday and did so well that we got to come home today. Carmen was in a lot of pain both Thursday and Friday and was given some extra morphine. The pain wasn’t subsiding and we finally figured out it was constipation. Once that was resolved, she was her normal content self!

Based on just a couple of days using the G-tube, I think it is much more convenient than the NG tube. And, I’ve only spilt her stomach contents all over once! Got to remember to clamp the tube before opening!

Thank you for all your prayers. This hospital stay really wasn’t bad and we had a very nice, quiet roommate (always a huge prayer). Huge thanks to the MOPS moms for bringing meals.

Dave’s parents are here for a few days and Lauren is having great fun playing “prince and princess” with them. Before Carmen’s surgery, I went to the Disney Store and found cloth Prince and Princess dolls on sale for $2.00 each. The Prince and Princess have gotten married many times this week!
