Owen went in for hernia surgery this morning. It took them two hours from they time they took him and brought him back. It was horrible to see him with the breathing tube back in. The surgery was a success though which is great, one step closet to going home! He slept all day, still under the anesthesia still and some pain medicine. They had to wait all day for him to wake up and take the tube out. At 8:45pm they took it out and he is doing well. He is on high flow nasal cannula and comfortable. They are going to let him rest tonight and work in weening later.
The eye doctor came and looked at Owen's eyes while he was under and determined he still didn't need eye surgery and will look at him again on Monday.
They are giving Owen TPN again for nutrition since he will not be able to eat until tomorrow afternoon. Then we have to start feeds slowly to make sure that his bowels are working properly.
I did it! Time to snuggle with Clifford
So glad the surgery went well and that he got off of the ventilator again. He is such a sweetie!! So glad I got to see him this week. Hope the next eye exam goes well. Love you all.
