Nissen Fundoplication


Way behind on posting! Jacob had his Nissen Fundoplication done on July 5th. He did WONDERFUL. He went back around 7:30 am and did not get out of recovery and into his room until around 12:30. The 1st days was the worst. He was crying a lot and was not allowed to eat. We think he was having some withdrawals from being off a few of his medications that could not be given IV. They gave Valium to help with that. Day 2 he was back to his normal self for the most part. He did not require anymore pain meds by day 3 and we left the hospital on day 5. He still has his gaging and dry heaving episodes, but NO VOMIT! He is already gaining weight. He is 30lbs now! This big boy will be 3 years old tomorrow (July 18th) Jacob seen the nurse practitioner today and they released him to go back to normal Jacob activities including full baths. :-)

Riding home from the hospital
I've been a little crafty lately. We made a new head rest for Jacob's Seat2Go with the help of Jack's aunt. She has co workers the work metal.  I also made him and a friend a weighted blanket. These are his birthday gifts and of course he will get another Mickey Mouse DVD
The head rest that was custom made for us
