She is out....but who won?

Round 3 of the GJ-tube is over but who won? As most of you know this is the third try to place the GJ-tube in Ashley. The doctor won round one with a successful placement. However, Ash pulled it out 2 days later. Round one was pre-transplant. In round 2 The Gherkin won as the doctor was unable to navigate her anatomy to place the tube, this was done post transplant. Today's sugery was round 3 and the winner is............well, we are not sure. The doctor is claiming a victory but said the next few days may reveal otherwise. It seems that her anatomy is difficult to manage since the transplant. He thinks he got it partially in place however the expects one of two things to happen in the next few day. The more preferable outcome would be that the portion of the tube that goes into the intestine will make its way farther downstream over the next couple of day. The less preferable outcome which is equally plausible would be for the portion of the tube that goes into the intestine to make its way back upstream and into the stomach. If this happens it would defeat the purpose of todays operation. So the outcome of round three remains to be determined. The doctor said Ashley is sure full of something, not really spunk, but maybe Pazzaz. He says she is a real firecracker that gives them a run for their money. He said he lost sleep last night trying to figure out how to do todays surgery. Please be with us in prayer that over the next couple of days the J portion of the tube will make its way into the intestine and not back up into the stomach. If it goes into the stomach Ash would most likely end up with the vomitting issues again. Lord tonight, even right now I pray that the jejunal portion of the tube would be making its way farther down into the jejunum. Thank you to each of you who are praying for Ashley. Let's pray that time will show today's operation a success.
