I paged the pulmonary doctor today to ask a few questions related to the G-tube surgery. The biggest question I had forgotten to ask was how long of a hospital stay would be involved. I wasn't prepared for the answer.
If we do both the G-tube and the Nissen, his prediction was around 2 weeks or more. That's assuming that things go well. If we just do the G-tube, it's probably 4 or 5 days. I had thought a couple of days for the G-tube and maybe a week for the combination.
But 2 weeks.
That's a long time.

Oh man, that is a long time, much longer than I would have thought too. We'll be there for you Bekka, I promise. Ollie won't be alone in the hospital.
