James made it through his first operation today with great success. He had a G tube put in so starting tomorrow he will be able to get real food into his stomach. The doctors also verified that the trachea and the esophagus look great and don't appear to have any holes, which is awesome. He will probably be able to have the breathing tube taken out in a few days. After a couple of weeks on the G tube, the doctors will do a type of dye test that will help them see how much of a distance is between is esophagus and his stomach. They will eventually do a surgery to correct this, but the timing will depend on his growth and the amount of distance they have to make up between the two.
Overall, we had a good day. James is totally out of it right now and resting peacefully. Tomorrow when he wakes up, he gets to eat!!!!
