Discharged!

As far as we know, we will be discharged this morning. Carson had this tonsils and adenoids removed yesterday morning. Dr. Costa said the surgery went well, said his tonsils and adenoids were NOT extremely large (a 2 on a scale of 4) but said he agreed with Cincinnati that this procedure needed to be done to optimize his airway. We checked another surgery off the list. YAY! Carson did really well overall. He was pretty sleepy yesterday and you could tell he was uncomfortable, especially when he coughed but I was impressed (as usual). Carson is a real trooper! He seemed in even better spirits this morning but through it all, he waved at doctors, nurses, and fellow patients : ) Carson required more supplemental oxygen yesterday than normal but after talking to Dr. Costa, he isn't surprised because when you've had a little 'bug' going into surgery, anesthesia has a bigger influence on lung function but he said this should resolve quickly (& we did see an improvement even overnight).

Our discharge is somewhat delayed because we are waiting to attempt a G-button this morning. The surgery nurse is supposed to come to measure for it this morning and then hopefully send us home with one. We are praying that it works this time! It has been a long time coming, as most kids would have had it over year ago.

Thank you once again for all your prayers...I would say we had a very successful trip and I'm glad we went ahead with surgery...now that Carson's recovery continues well.

Carson was already thinking how he was going to get out of here yesterday!

A good morning wave for Daddy!
