8/23/05 - Hannah has COMPLETED her surgery today with NO COMPLICATIONS. She now has her G-tube (feeding tube into her stomach) in place. Liquids will be gradually introduced to her via the G-Tube until she is able to tolerate larger amounts. She will have the tube in until she is eating enough on her own. Hannah returned from surgery with a NG tube also in place, it's a tube that goes through her nose and into her stomach. It will be in temporarily (12-24 hours) until the G-Tube is ready to use. Hannah had some trouble adjusting to it and was quite upset with the tube irritating her nose. She has already tried to pull it out. It is VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. HANG IN THERE HANNAH!!! YOU ARE DOING GREAT!!! JUST A FEW MORE STEPS AND YOU'LL BE HOME!!!
