Well he is done, about an hour ago they called us back into the ICU he's doing great! Ok, he's very drugged, no room to be doing bad. It's very weird every other surgery, no matter the extent he has been up and out of bed and we have spent most our time trying to keep him in bed to rest. This won't be the case tonight.
It looks alot better than I expected, not sure what mike thinks, he's pretty quiet tonight. But there are 2 incisions on each side of jaw line, and then the "screws" stick out at his chin, there will be scars but not severe ones. We should be starting to turn on Friday. it will be 1 and a half turns each day. The dr went ahead and put in a 20mm extractor just incase we need to go that far, but at this point with weekly visits and daily turnings, our days will be busy!
Sounds like the 10 and younger age ban is off only IF the child shows absolutly NO sign of cold fever or cough (duh right?) So hopefully Seth will be able to visit us on Saturday when Skyler gets out of ICU.
I have some pics for here, but the computer I have doesnt like my disk, its not formatted correctly, and I dont think i know how to fix it with out losing all my pics. SO once we get that figured out I will post them, he looks like a chipmunk with fangs....odd i know.
But gotta go Mike probably is going to want to eat before he heads to pick up Seth. He's in Skyler's room right now sleeping, or trying...we have a little teeny weeny roomy, who is also trached, it's going to be a long night between the two heaters and sat monitors....ugh.

Been watching your updates and thinking about you all! Stay strong, Skyler can't have better parents...you are both so strong for him. Keep your spirits up and know we're there for you! - Patti
ReplyDeleteI am very glad Skyler's surgery went well. I was thinking of you all when I was at work and wanted to txt you, but my phone died :( I pray that recovery goes well, that you all get some rest and that Skyler really does enjoy his little vacation :) Keep up the good work mom and dad! I know its not easy. Love and hugs, erica
