We got up to the floor around 4:30pm and Gracie was miserable. With getting acquainted with the nurse and all that follows (ordering formula, medicine, and adding to doctor's orders) Gracie didn't get to rest until 6:30pm. She fell asleep in my arms, slept 40 minutes and then woke up screaming and was inconsolable for the next 45 minutes (the nurse got sidetracked and forgot about Gracie's tylenol, ugh!) We gave her a nice hefty dose of nubain and within 20 minutes she was calm, relaxed and just playing. We then gave her her 8pm meds, along with some loratab and benedryl, we are still waiting to actually feed her, they will start with some pedialyte at 10pm and if she tolerates that we will start a continous drip around 12am (poor thing hasn't had any forumula since 12am today). Provided she does well, they'll watch her till tomorrow afternoon and we should be home by 5pm, depending on the weather.
Here's a picture of my tired little baby (taken because Jay couldn't make it up and wanted to see her)....hopefully she will sleep well

I didn't realize she was already scheduled for surgery. I am glad to hear that all went smoothly and you are now free of the NG.

poor little puffle... Hope she is pain free and happier now.
I'm so glad she decided to have a nice, easy surgery this time. Good Girl! I bet this will really be great for you both.
Take Care!
I'm so glad that you were able to have an uneventful surgery for once! I hope that you're home and resting well. You're gonna LOVE the g-tube!
