We're in the room

At 11:50 we were taken to the recovery area, and Gwen was there wide awake, and had already charmed everyone she met. She was on very light oxygen, and received a little morphine because she was frowning a bit. From there we all went into room 8 in the pediatric intensive care unit, somewhere around 1pm. We don't need the picu, but this was the room that was available.

Gwen is singing up a storm and wiggling around, displaying a remarkable recovery from the anesthesia. We can tell by her face that she's still feeling "off", but overall doing very well.

She's just now starting her first G-tube feeding, and she'll be on just pedialyte for the rest of the day. It will be pumped in at 10ml/hr for the first hour and 20ml/hr for the next hour, just to start off very slowly. Tomorrow at 9am we'll get the full lesson on how to feed her and care for the new tube.

The plan is that she'll be able to go home tomorrow, but that is TBD, depending on how the rest of the day goes.
