Tubes out of the mouth...

Sara is currently getting her PEG tube inserted. This will be her feeding tube and come through her stomach wall. She will be a lot more comfortable. And we'll have all of her face back.

OOH...She did the best thing today... She moved her toes...on command. Way freaking awesome.

She did it for me. She did it for her nurse. She did it for her grandmother. Now she just has to do it for a doctor... She's just stubborn enough to make them work for it.

The doctor just came out. Procedure is all done. It went very well.

As if the girl doesn't have enough to deal with...she has an ulcer. Apparently it is a stress ulcer just below the stomach. Nice... Of course, it is not hard to see why she would be stressed the last three weeks...

  3. Kristina, thank you so much for the updates. I find myself checking in several times a day. That is such awesome news that Sara wiggled her toes voluntarily! I can't wait to read what the doc has to say about that. YOU GO SARA!
