Surgery or No Surgery...That is the Question

We had our appointment today with the reconstructive/plastic surgeon, Dr. Gosman. The final verdict is.........(drum roll).........NO SURGERY! We really weren't anticipating that she was going to say "Yes".

This plan was determined by two good reasons:

#1: Kali is still so petite and tiny

#2: The G-tube site poses a monster infection risk.

SO....our ultimate goal, before any surgeon will possibly do anything, is to get Kali on a full eating course and be able to be G-tube free. It is so easy to say...but such a hard battle to go through.

Good news though...Kalista has now added cheeses (provolone, cheddar and mozzarella) and taro bread to her "OK" list of foods. She's like a chipmunk-mouse when she eats. Nibble..nibble ....nibble....store....maybe swallow....store some more...nibble..nibble...
