Pierce - Age: 15 days

It's 700 in the morning and we are waiting for the surgery spot. We were told that they might have brought him earlier if a spot opened up, but nothing did, so he went down to the OR at 1130.

He was not a happy camper when we went down. I think he just wanted his diaper changed. Oh well. So the first couple of pics are of Pierce on his way down to surgery.

30 minutes after he went in and we were banished to the waiting area (where you can't eat or drink) we were summoned by the front desk to talk to one of the many doctors.... This time it was the ENT Doc that wanted to tell us about the scope work that he had just completed.

He said that all looked really good pay the jaw and that when he was looking at the tongue in relationship to the throat, that he has a mild problem. He said it wasn't that bad but was obviously positional so they were moving forward worth the other surgeries. Phew.... That is good news.

Update: 330pm... Pierce is out of surgery. All went well. No complications. All was routine. Dr. Oh said that the tongue lip adhesion really brought his tongue forward anf opened up his airway. The g tube went in fine and the nissen was routine. All in all the little fella is good. He is currently sedated and on a breathing machine and will be either until tomorrow or next week. Just depends on him. 

So, yay for surgery and we will see how this works for him.
