In the clear!!

We had Cassies follow up appointement at Childrens Hospital so her doctor could look at her palate. He said it has healed great and she has no restrictions!! He said she could eat a pretzel tonight if she wanted....I am not going to do that because I want a couple more week of good healing time but its so nice to know we don't have to worry about anything. After that appointment we went to the GI clinic to have her G-tube removed. We waited there an hour but it is no longer in her tummy!! Its kinda gross until it heals because her stomach contents leak out and when they first pulled the tube out it gushed out because she was screaming bloody murder (then she also smelled like vomit...lovely)It only takes a couple of days for the hole to close up on its own, if it were to not close up we would need surgery but her GI doctor said it looked great and didn't see why it wouldn't heal up.

So...after over a year everything is done. No more pulse oximeter, no more G-tube, no more Haberman, no more Cleft Palate, no more taking care of her G-tube site every day, no more oxygen...we are done!!! What a ride and God defintily doesn't give you more than you can handle, this just made us stronger.
