Monday, December 22nd

Lexi had a VERY long day today. Lexi was taken off her feeds at 3 a.m. in hopes of having her G tube done. They were finally able to get Lexi in at 8:15 this evening. We have a HUGE praise in that the doctors were able to do the less invasive procedure. Lexi's stomach positioning cooperated so that they were able to put her peg tube in. The entire procedure only took an hour and a half, and Lexi is doing well! The healing time for this G tube is typically 5 to 7 days. The will begin tiny feeds tomorrow to see how she tolerates them.

Specific Prayer requests:

Thank you to everyone who was praying for Lexi today and for her procedure. We are so thankful that God allowed her to have the less invasive procedure done. Pray for Lexi as she begins to recover for this procedure. She is in some pain this evening and will be for the next few days.
