Well, looks like we won't be going home today. After continued episodes of gagging/vomiting we have talked to the doctors more and decided that the best thing would be to go ahead and get the surgery to have the Gtube placed in her stomach for feedings. With her gagging/vomiting now she has a greater risk of aspirating into her lungs which can cause major issues since her lungs are not in good shape already. We spoke to a surgeon today and they want her to have an upper GI done before they do the surgery to check for reflux and for any other possible problems with her upper digestive system. They plan to try and get the surgery done Mon or Tues and then she will have to stay at the hospital for a few days to be monitored and to ensure that the tube and feedings are working for her. There are risks with any surgery as well as having a tube placed but we are hoping that this will releive the gagging/vomiting spells. Nothing is for sure yet but that is the "tentative plan" for now.
