Surgery Update 03-02-09

This is an update and a test. I am emailing this post in, so we'll see
how it turns out.

We got to the hospital at 8:30 this morning. We got checked in and then got to go play in the playroom until they were ready for us.

We got called out a little before 10, and were in the OR at 10:44.

Everything went well. The doctors were going back and forth about whether or not we would be stating overnight. We almost got out of it, but the anesthesiologist thought it would be best after surgery.

They did not have to dilate his esophagus, so that is good news. They took a biopsy of the lining and we should know more later.

The tubes went in without any incident. They ended up putting tubes in both ears, and confirmed the presence of fluid in his right ear.

The adenoids also came out without incident. He is just snoring a lot right now. Hopefully this will have cured his sleep apnea once it heals. :)

We were finally admitted into a room on the general respiratory floor in a monitored room so they can keep track of his oxygen levels. KP was watching gabba, but now he is asleep. Which is good because it
appears that our DVD needs to be cleaned very badly.

That is all for now. We should go home tomorrow. We see his craniofacial on Wednesday and his pediatrician on Friday, so we have a packed week ahead of us.

  1. Everett...I love you and glad you are doing so well. Be a good boy for Mommy and Daddy.

    Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrong. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts,always hopes,always perseveres...Love never fails
    1 Corinthians 13:4-8

    If we all believed this the world would be a better place!!!!

    Love you three!
