3/4

Peyton is now donning a new accessory, his lovely g tube. He got through surgery like a champ. He seemed to be in a little discomfort after so he got a dose of morphine and from there received Tylenol. The weekend was uneventful. We are up and running using the g tube for feeds and to administer meds. Chris and I are quickly learning how to use the equipment and care for the site. We had all of our equipment delivered for at home use and will be trained on that this week. The first few feeds Peyton had some trouble tolerating but we think that it could have been his stomach stretching. He is doing great now and we are trying to get him on scheduled bolus feeds. We are starting to give him jar food in between his tube feeds. I also let him have 'puffs' yesterday and he loved them and did really well eating them which was great. I believe that we are moving in the right direction. As for Dylan, she is doing great at daycare. She is enjoying the other kids and comes home exhausted which is a win-win!
