Yesterday, May 1st, Emma had a Gastrostomy feeding Tube (G-tube) “installed”. The procedure was done under anesthesia after the Seattle Children’s team did a little snooping around to check out a small shadow on a recent x-ray of her tummy area. The endoscopy showed that it was nothing more than a narrowing of her duodenum… nothing to worry about.
Emma already relaxing after her surgery.
Emma (and Mom) will spend a couple of days in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) but already, as of the morning of May 2, our little heroine has a new look.
Watching the Lion King… Hey! Something’s missing!
Anyway, all is good.
The night before Emma’s G-tube surgery Mark and Erin arranged with Jeanna Rice of Jeanna Rice Photography to take a few photos of Emma and the family.
Enjoy!
