No Fever!

Kaitlyn's fever went away! We are pretty sure it was just from them changing out the tube. Here is a picture of her new tube. It's a much better setup and way easier to use. The surgeon will check it again in 2 weeks to see how things look.

We also tried out the backpack that comes with the feeding pump and used that during this afternoon when she wasn't eating her bottle. It worked great! It will be so nice to have the backpack when we are on the go. It is very discreet too, not the actual backpack but the fact that there is a feeding pump inside.

 The front pocket unzips so you can access the pump's screen to turn it on and change settings.

In the back of the backpack, the feeding bag hangs and the tubing comes out of a small hole in the bottom of the backpack. You can see the pump is in the front.

For those families who are dealing with NPA, just to give you a rough estimate of what it costs for a G-Tube and Nissen surgery laproscopically with a hospital stay just under a week. The hospital billed our insurance $54,193.22. So depending on what your deductible is and coinsurance, etc. For instance, we have a deductible and then pay 20% of the total cost up to a certain amount. This gives you a good idea of what to expect. Geez, I wonder how much the surgeon gets?

Looking forward to a great weekend together and more healing for Kaitlyn.
