Ethan has surgery scheduled for Monday morning 10 am. He is going to get a 3-fer.
First, he is getting a Gastronomy tube placed. Here is a link with more info about G-Tubes http://pedsurg.ucsf.edu/conditions--treatments/gastrostomy-tubes.aspx
Second he will get his hernia fixed.
Third he will be circumcised. We aren't sure the urologist will be available on short notice, but it's going to be done one way or another.
So, this is coming at us pretty quickly, but it needs to be done. Ethan's intake has been gradually declining and he is losing weight. Not good things. I am really sad that he has to have surgery and have this done, but I am so relieved that he won't have to fight us over meds and eating any more. Now eating can be an enjoyable event during the day and he can get whatever he didn't take during the day while he sleeps. Hopefully that means mommy can sleep too!
thinking of the whole family this weekend--let me know if you need anything, I can certainly drive out.
