Get back to work

Alex is back to her old self telling the nurses to get back to work.  She's been on bipap since her surgery yesterday and it just came off this morning so it's good to see her cute little face again.   She did have some pain last night, mostly associated with us moving her around to adjust her mask or change her diaper but we had an awesome nurse who was on top of her pain management. We are waiting on rounds to see what the plan is.  Most kids who get a g-tube are admitted to the floor after surgery, start getting nutrition through their tube and go home the next day.  Because Alex was started on bipap (another story for another post) the same time as her g-tube placement she does not fall into the typical category.  She is still NPO (no food by mouth) and we've yet to start liquids in her g-tube.  Hoping to get this ball rolling very soon.
