From Jason: Benjamin is all ready for his procedures tomorrow. The Upper GI went well. They found nothing unusual with his anatomy, and were encouraged by a lack of reflux. They also determined that everything below his stomach is working normally. His surgery is scheduled for 1:30 pm. The surgeons believe he could be coming home within ten to fourteen days provided there are no complications or additional findings. Before coming home we will be trained to care for all his special needs. While Ben has the trach he will always need to be accompanied by a trained care giver. Please contact us if you are interested in learning as well. Tomorrow's procedures have caused us some anxiety, but we are confident they will allow us to bring our son home soon
