This surgery was WAY longer and more complicated than the hemispherectomy itself. And we can see that in Byron's recovery. He is vomiting profusely and there is much more blood. (sorry - yecch alert) None of these things were present in the first surgery. But it is so very comforting to be at a world class hospital. Every nurse, doctor, nurse practitioner, anesthesiology we meet are at the top of their game. And super nice!
We will be in the ICU this evening and next and then two more nights in the "Step Down" unit. I am looking forward to greeting Byron when is awake and lucid. Right now he is asleep, but the doctors who examined him said that he is exactly where he should be and all looks really good.
I won't post any pictures until Byron says ok. He's not camera ready right now :)
Thank you for these updates Denise. Glad Byron's on the other side of the surgery. May he feel much better very soon! Big love!!!!
