Procedure went well

Kate's g-tube procedure went well. She's resting in her room peacefully. She's woken up a few times pretty upset (in pain?), so she's been on morphine since her procedure. She's pretty sedated, but that's good right now (since she can't eat yet).

Still unsure about how long she'll be in the hospital. It depends on how well she tolerates feeding and how controlled her pain is. The tube was inserted via endoscopy (through her mouth), so her throat is likely irritated in addition to the hole in her stomach. As soon as she can take things orally, she'll be taken off the morphine and put on Tylenol or ibuprofen for pain.

Thanks for the support and prayers!
