We arrived at the hospital bright and early at 600am. The boys both still have coughs, so we were praying that the boys could both still have surgery.
Sammy just went back and is in surgery now. He will have his full lip repair done today, so he will look much different the next time we see him! I just kissed him for the last time on those lips.
Our doc is still concerned about doing David's surgery today, since he is having his whole hard palate closed up. The anesthesiologist explained that a cough in the upper area is a concern because when the kids are intubated, the tube passes thru the vocal chords the chords can close off the tube if they are swollen and react to the tube by tensing up or pulsing. That is such a Igotupat430am kinda medical explanation, eh?
So they will probably listen to David's chest again and reevaluate when Sammy is done to decide if David can have his surgery today.
Please pray that it is safe to do D's surgery today.
And please pray that Sammy does great in surgery and that the surgeon's hands are guided by God.
(((hugs))),
Chris
