tubing

hi everyone. so, we're back. we figure that many of you know about conley's struggle to gain weight and the subsequent treatment we've opted for. today conley went in for day surgery to "install" a gastrostomy tube (or, as the hip kids call it, a "g" tube). this tube will allow us to feed conley during the night. he isn't so fond of eating these days, maybe because he spent so much time early on in life with 1) tubes down his throat, 2) constant throwing up (which stopped a while ago) and 3) acid reflux problems (severe heartburn). either way, we think we've outsmarted him now. the good stuff (Pediasure fortified drink) will go right into that little belly of his. we're praying that this helps him bulk up. developmentally he's doing great. he's just got to grow. your prayers are so very much appreciated. we'll keep you posted. the picture above is conley cruising around the pre-op, flirting with the nurses. below are pictures of him after the surgery. as usual, super cute (both he and mom ;)
