Lynn came through his surgery to place the PEG tube in his stomach beautifully. They had warned me that he would most likely come back on a ventilator since he would have had general anesthesia and be sedated with pain medication. However, when he came back, there was no need for the ventilator, he was breathing on his own through the trach with just a little oxygen support. As I mentioned in the last post, they can't use his PEG tube for 48 hours, so he continues to receive his nutrition via TPN (IV). His medications can actually still be administered via his NJ tube that is going down his nose into his jejunum. The jejunum is the beginning of the small intestine where most of your nutrients are absorbed. He continues to be in a coma and no changes are really taking place. I will keep you informed.
