Aaron had to be at the hospital at 7:30am this morning. He was called back to pre op around 8am. They checked him and said he was good. I talked with Dr S and the anesthesiologist. They were concerned about his seizures and wanted to make sure that he had him morning meds. He fell alseep while I was holding him and looked so sweet. I hated handing him to the nurse. I kissed him and told him I loved him and he was taken to the OR.
Dr S finally (25 minutes later) came and talked with me., He said it went very well and that Aaron did great. He said they would call me back in about 5 minuted to see him. I was so relieved. I gathered up my things and waited for my pager to go off. 5, 10, 15 20 minutes later it still has not gone off. I am starting to get worried but remembered Dr S said he did fine. 26 minutes later it goes off. I am taken back to recovery. She keeps walking and we pass Aaron's wheelchair in the hall. We go out the door and across the hall. She takes me through another door and he is still hooked up to all of the monitors. He is still sleeping. The nurse says the Dr has ordered a breathing treatment and X ray. We think he aspirated. As she says this his alarms go off for heart rate and oxygen level. His heart rate his 50 and his oxygen level is going down and he is already on 10 liters. I can't think. I just remember how sick he was the last time he aspirated. They do the breathing treatment but his lung is the same. They do the chest xray...its clear.... what!?! The Drs listen to him and he is all clear! We can't believe it. They were already planning on him staying. His heart rate is still low and his oxygen level is still low but his lungs are clear! They are able to ween him down to 2 liters and he is sent to the other side of recovery to wake up more. After a little while he starts to wake up more. He begins to cough and his heart rate goes up and his oxygen level rises. He is going to be ok! I feed him to make sure that his button is working. He does great and we are finally discharged.
