Less than 14 Hours to go...

Well, we're less than 14 hours out from the time we have to be at St. John's tomorrow for Liam's surgery. They will be inserting a g-tube and doing a nissen fundoplication. The nissen is where they take the top part of the stomach and wrap it around the bottom of the esophagus and stitch it there to stop reflux. I'm not looking forward to him being in pain because, from what I've read, these surgeries come with quite a bit of pain. I know, though, it'll be better for him in the long-term...but short-term, it stinks! I know God is watching over him, though, and lots of people are praying for him. Thank you if you're one of those people!

T Minus 48 Hours

So far Mr. Liam is STILL healthy! This is awesome! That means that unless he gets sick before then (and believe me it CAN happen), he will be having his G-tube and Nissen Fundoplication surgeries on Wednesday morning. This is super nerve-wracking for us as it's the biggest surgery one of our kiddos has been through. We've been through ear tube surgery 3 times, and Avery was circumcised at age 2 (which required being put under general anesthesia b/c of age). Still hoping he keeps it together til Wednesday (and after) then has a speedy recovery and is home for his big brother's 5th birthday on Saturday!
