On Monday, 10/19/09, they weaned Abby Gayle from the ventilator and took the breathing tube out. she still has the OGT that drains fluid from her stomach and intestines. She will have that tube for several weeks. Today she is wide awake & moving her arms around with lots of strength! She is a strong willed child already and wants to get out of that bed! we do too so we can hold her! Soon, very soon!
On Wednesday morning, she will have another surgery to close the hole that the intestines came out of. Once she recovers from that surgery and is comfortable from the pain & discomfort, they will once again wean her from the ventilator & take the breathing tube out. It will be at that time that we can hold her. We are praying that it will be this weekend!
She will not be able to eat until her stomach begins to show that it is working. Once we can tell that, she will start feeding by bottle!
