G-Tube

Yesterday morning, Kyle had surgery to put in a "G tube", a kind of feeding tube that goes into the abdomen instead of the nose. They brought him to the downstairs NICU and did the procedure bedside. He did very well and is now back to NICU3 until discharge. The nurse practitioner, Stephanie, says that we'll see how he does over the weekend and if all goes well, Kyle will come home early next week.

Here's a video of Kyle shortly before his surgery yesterday...
and here's a picture of the g tube just after it was put in...
