Aaron's surgery only lasted 30 mins but it was the longest 30 mins ever. Dr S said it went great and he did end up doing a biopsy to check for reflux. He might end up having the Nissen if it shows chronic reflux. He was taken to the PICU and we were able to see him right away. The anesthesiologist said he did well and only had a issue with a very low heart rate. She gave him some meds to increase it and he was fine. He looks so peaceful sleeping and I am praying for no pain. He has Morphine ordered if he needs it, but I am hoping that he will sleep for a while. I can't wait to hold him again. I am so thankful that there were not any complications and hopeful that this surgery will help keep him healthy. He has been through so much and I want him to start feeling better.
I am hoping that this heals quickly and we are able to get a button in a few weeks.
The site has to be cleaned twice a day and the tube turned once a day. I am hoping that this is not going to cause him any discomfort. Praying that the next 4 weeks go fast and we don't have any problems.
Right before we were discharged (friday) Dr Y was checking on Aaron. He was telling the nurse how he had taken care of Aaron the last 2 weeks in the PICU. I know how sick Aaron was, but hearing it from the Intensivist made it all more real. He was telling her how sick Aaron was in the PICU. That he had done a Bronchoscope and it took him a very long time to get better. I am so thankful for this amzing team of Drs taking care of my little angel.
