Kaleb Update

Just a quick update on Kaleb...he had his G-tube put in today. (He was just not able to eat/drink enough calories to maintain his weight anymore and started losing weight) The surgery was at 9am, only lasted about 15 minutes, and went great. We got up to a room at about 10:45, Kaleb was still pretty sleepy and out of it for the next few hours. When they checked his fever around 4 it was 101.something even though they gave him Tylenol every 4 hours. Around 7:30pm they checked it again and it was down to 100 and Kaleb was more like himself, talking and playing with his new Cars magnetic toys (from cousin Sara). He also was getting very thirsty and asking for some water, even getting upset at times because we wouldn't give him any! (Dr said nothing by mouth until morning) Keith will be staying with Kaleb overnight since I have to work tomorrow and he said Kaleb is fast asleep:) Hopefully they both will get some restful sleep and Kaleb will feel better in the morning!

The Dr will be in tomorrow morning sometime, probably not before 8. They'll go over all the feeding stuff with Keith then. We did have a friend of a friend (used to work with feeding tubes) come and talk to us and show us some 'dolls' with feeding tubes and that was very helpful! I'll keep you all posted as best I can from work tomorrow.

Thanks so much for your well wishes, love, and prayers:)
