G-tube update

We are almost three weeks post-op, two weeks after having the tube removed and this is what we have


Gwynne tells us from time to time that she misses her button. I guess when you had something attched to your body for over 4 years it would feel weird for it not to be there anymore.

We wanted to get a post op picture a few days after surgery but she wouldn't let anyone come near it. We didn't even take the original bandage off until we went into the Doc's office for a check up. It was pretty gooey, pussy & gross mess. It appealed to my sick brain to see it. LOL! Guess becoming a nurse will be a good thing for me. :-) I get excited cleaning the kids ears as well!

There was also about two weeks of her being a bit embarassed. She wouldn't let us see her tummy. When getting dressed she would turn away and have her back to us. But know I guess she has no problems with showing everyone. According to her teacher the other day in class Gwynne lifted up her dress to show her someone her button was gone. We got a good giggle out of it and told her teacher she was prepping herself for Spring Break. ROFL!
