Hi!
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. I definitely did. I have a lot to be thankful for this year. My health, wonderful doctors and nurses, great friends and family members, turkey flavored milk... the list goes on and on. So thank you everyone for being so supportive to me and my family.
I, like everyone else is putting on a little holiday weight. In fact, I'm over 10 lbs now! I've tripled my weight in my first four months of live. The doctors think it's great, but I'm a bit concerned that I have more rolls than the local bakery. If only I could walk, I'd work out... but until then I guess I'll embrace my new husky physique.
Tomorrow is a big day for me. I have surgery to get a G-tube (for feedings), Nissen (to prevent reflux), PE tubes (to drain the fluid from my ears) and whatever else the doctors decide to do to me when I'm under. My mommy and daddy were able to have both ENT and General Surgery work together and get everything taken care of at once so I didn't have to get anesthesia twice. It took a while to schedule, but the wait is over and the big day is now here. They plan on wheeling me to the OR around 1:00 p.m. I think I'll be in there for about three hours. I'm sure everything will go well, but I'll keep you posted. Oh, and I posted some Thanksgiving pictures in the Photo Gallery. Be sure to check them out and remember, the camera adds 5 pounds.
Take care!
Love Ben.
