Eve's surgery went well. Apparently, Eve's stomach was in a really great place for the surgery (ie, not under her ribs) and it all went very smoothly. She's in a lot of pain that is being managed by morphine. She's pretty uncomfortable, but the GI doc says this first 24 hours will be the worst. He expects that we will be discharged on Wednesday. They are giving the tube 24 hours to heal up before slowly introducing anything through it. Jim and I are holding up. We're tired and worried. Tonight we were surprised by a visit from Jim's cousin, Michael, and his wife, Michelle. Eve wasn't too gracious a host, but it was really nice for us. Here are some pictures of the day.
This was where we had to wait for hours for the surgery. Eve did well considering she hadn't had anything to eat for 20 hours and hadn't had a nap.

After the surgery and high on morphine.
Here's the g-tube. No bandages. Very tender, though.

So, thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. We're hanging in there. I'll try to update again tomorrow.
