Anya surgery went as well as we could hope for. She is all settled in to her new room where we will be for the next 5-7 days while she begins to heal. The whole surgical team was awesome again. They re-did her Nissen Fondoplication and repaired her hiatus which was badly torn by the Paraesophogeal Hernia. Her vagus nerves did not appear to be damaged so they opted not to do the pyloriplasty which is good in our minds to keep as much of her anatomy just as Ma Nature intended. She drifting in and out of sleep now with 2 IV's, a cathiter, an epidural (for pain management), and then the usual for monitoring vitals. We won't start her feeds for a day or two to let her stomach heal for a bit. Unfortunately she has been retching a bit and requiring suction but it seems to be only saliva and/or perhaps post nasal drip. So technically not vomiting, Yea! All-in-all, it was a good day. Thank you everyone for your prayers and well wishes.
