The surgery went great. It ended up taking longer than it should have, four hours instead of two. This was due to two things, 1. Memphis had so much scar tissue from the first surgery that the Dr. Had to get through and 2. Memphis' liver was where the gtube needed to go (the anatomy of a CDH baby is not as it should be) and because they couldn't just put the tube through the liver they had to reroute and put the tube somewhere else. He did come out of surgery still on a ventilator which means a tube back down his throat :-(. He will stay on the vent until he wakes up enough to breath on his own.
Memphis is now resting as best as possible. He does wake every so often a little and starts crying from pain (back to crying with no sound). Poor baby...
