The Brothers the day before surgery
On our way to Primary Children's Hospital
All hospital gowns are the same
We were the last surgery of the day. We weren't scheduled until 1:30pm. Tommy couldn't have formula past midnight the night before and then only apple juice or pedialite. We haven't been giving him a binky because we found out he couldn't have one after his operation, but the hospital gave us one to help him not be so fussy while waiting for surgery. It worked!

Post OP getting oxygen. He stopped breathing 7 times. Pretty scary for a while. They gave him some drugs to temporarily paralyze his vocal cords and that helped. They had to give him that medication 3 different times in the post op room.
Breathing just fine and in the PICU
Check out the arm braces and the thing around his lip called a bow. He has to wear both for 4 weeks.

Close up of his stitches. Oxygen mask close by just in case. It was never needed in the PICU.
YEAH! Released from the hospital.

What a poor sweet cutie pie! I'm so glad things went well...and everyone is home safe and sound! Hang in there...soon all of this will just be fond memories.
SEVEN times? That is so scary. It 's is so hard to watch your little baby endure something like that. I'm so glad he is okay and you are home safe and sound. That cute little fat lip is adorable! 4 weeks is a long time to not be able to bend your arms...poor little guy. Good luck and we hope recovery goes well!
I am so glad he is okay! Those pictures almost made me cry! He looks so sweet.
We are glad the surgery went well. That is a little scary that he stopped breathing. Hope Tommy feels better soon.

Hi Joe and Julianne, this is Rhonda. I am so glad that the surgery went well. This certainly has to be a little scary for you but we hope recovery goes quickly. To see him sleeping so soundly in the last photo is reassuring after going through all he has. I'll keep checking for updates! Good luck!
