Will sleeps best when he is being held
Will is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow to have a g-tube (feeding tube) placed and a neissen procedure performed. The neissen is essentially a "stomach wrap" where part of the stomach is wrapped around the end of the esophagus in order to help with acid reflux.
We don't know exactly what time it will be, as his surgeon is working him in to his schedule. The surgery should take about 3 hours.
It looks like Will is coming home in the next 2-3 weeks. We are waiting for his home ventilator to come in, and once it does we will begin our training on it. We also have to complete other training, including CPR and how to use and care for the g-tube. We are in the process of getting prepared for his arrival... setting up his room for his equipment; making arrangements for private duty nursing at night; etc.
It is a very exciting, yet anxious time for us. We can't wait to have our little guy home!!

Hello -
Although this is our first posting, we have been following Will's progress from the start.
We just wanted you to know that you are in everyone's thoughts and prayers. Be sure to let us know if there is anything we can do.

What a great picture! We're praying for the success of Will's surgery today. I know you're looking forward to Will taking many more naps in your arms when he comes home. He is such a lucky little man to have two such incredible parents!
Love,
Uncle Jay
