Gabriel has been home since July 16
th and he is doing very well. It appears that the surgery has healed well and he is more comfortable now. The Reflux has all but disappeared and he is taking the bottle again. Today he does about 15-25 ml by bottle three times a day. Which is great considering the last couple of weeks before his surgery he wasn't taking anything.
Gabriel also
had a bunch of follow appointments with his doctors:
Surgeon everything was healing well, he had a Swallow test done and the
Fundo is working well. Food goes down and very trace amount come up. Our GI doc put him on a feeding schedule so his goal is to hopefully be taking 48
mls, so we can start compressing. He had a Echo-Cardiogram done and his
Cardiologist found
absolutely nothing wrong with his ticker. He had a neurology appointment and they did not find any neurological problems, although she said he needed to build up his strength and suggested we get him OT (
Occupational Therapy). He is already getting PT (
Physical Therapy) and Speech and Swallow Therapy.
Overall he looks great and we hope he continues this
forward progress.
