Ryan's surgery went well. He has some typical Ryan complications (and I am sure more to come), but we are home. He actually is doing much better out of the hospital than he was in. After he was able to stay off oxygen for a couple of hours we were allowed to walk the halls and that was all we did for the next 12 hours (all through the night- actually I did the walking and he was in the wagon). He was so non-compliant that I think they were happy to see him go. I was so busy just trying to take care of him that I didn't get any pictures. The only thing that caught us off guard was that he had to have his adenoids removed AGAIN. I know that 5% of cases they can grow back, I just was not expecting it to happen so fast. 2 adenoidectomy in less than a year seems a little crazy. Talk about crazy, I also rushed home because Tyler is not felling well. Apparently he has shingles on
his face. He is in a lot of pain and has trouble seeing. I had the impression that something was not right, but people kept telling be their post-tonsillectomy stories and tried to reassure me that the pain was "normal". Unfortunately for Tyler, this extreme pain has little to do with his tonsils. I feel so bad for them. Every week there is another medical issue we have to work through. Right now we are trying to get through each day at a time with as little long term effects as possible. So far there are no blister on the cornea, just the inside of the eye. I guess blindness is only an issue if the blisters are on the actual cornea. So for now we are keeping a "eye" on him (HA HA). We also wanted to give a big thanks to Nana & Che Gunn for taking care of Davin so Trevor and I can take care of the rest. We appreciate the help!!!
