All Done

We just spoke with the surgeon, and everything went very well. There was no bowel damage, the Ladd's bands were successfully removed (though there were many), the appendix was removed, and the G-tube is in place. All his intestines have been placed, and he doesn't anticipate Andrew's twisty bowel will cause future problems. They tested the fix by flushing warm saline through his NG tube...it passed through without a problem.

He's back from the OR and in his NICU spot again. He already woke up from the anesthetic...he's not in any pain and they gave him more meds in preparation. Apparently Andrew could take a direct shot from an elephant tranquilizer and be unfazed. We'll get in to see him in a bit, but he came through with flying colors.
