Today I had the surgery to place my trach and my Mom got to see me for the first time with no tape on my face. She says I am even cuter than she thought. I'm a little out of it on this picture and will be for the next few days as the incision heals. Things went well during surgery and I am resting comfortably. I did not get the g-tube because the general surgeon wanted my vent settings to be lower. If I am able to bottle feed well, we will most likely not get the g-tube. We really wanted to only have one surgery, but I am sure you all know by now that things don't always go as planned in the NICU. The surgical team came and got me at 3:15 and Mom and Dad were able to see me by 5:30, so things went fast. I know there are probably a lot of questions that we don't have the answers to yet, but we promise to keep everyone updated on how things are progressing. Thanks for all of the prayers that helped get me through surgery today!
