Joy made it through the hour long surgery and experiencing extreme amount of pain and discomfort. Feeding tube was inserted and doctor spent extra time looking at previous Nissen surgery and found everything intact and as it should be. They are now giving her morphine for pain so hope it helps. They will wait 24 hours before introducing saline through the tube and if it functions properly with no leaks, etc. then they will begin round the clock feedings. Initial monitoring is crucial because the feeding nourishment significantly impacts the blood sugar levels and immunosuppressant medicine levels.
Getting very difficult to continue to see her suffer with pain, discomfort and frustration.
