Im so glad you are home recovering. Thanks for posting your status. I sent an email to your parents but didnt get a response. Sounds to me like you are very fortunate in recovering so quickly. Im sure to you it doesnt seem like you are healing quickly, but from someone who has been there....you are doing excellent!!!!

Rest up and make sure you get the formula feeding in a routine. Do you have a pump for it? Its very important to get the right amount of formula daily or you will feel lousy and healing will go slowly. Just ask if you have any questions about the feeding tube stuff. Ive had one for over 2 years.

Congrats on a successful surgery. Hope you feel better soon smile
