We got to see Robbie in recovery around 2:00. He was crying and complaining of pain this time which I wasnt expecting because he was so calm during the combined in March. After some good meds he calmed a bit and has been sleeping since we got back (its 4:51 now). Tom went and got the family some food and I sat as long as I can to eat but ended up getting up many times to make sure the little guy was still sleeping. I am praying when he wakes he will ask for food or a drink and be in better spirits.
The surgery went well according to Dr Roberson. Robbies head is wrapped in a purple bandage as you can see in the picture. He has a drain tube that comes out the top of his neck until Wednesday and a stitched on sponge on the back of the left ear. The nurse showed us where they took skin from the groin area and it looked pretty good. We did not get a chance to talk with Dr Reinisch before we left because he was working on another patient. We do not have any post ops in LA and will head home Wednesday after our post op at the CEI.
I will post pictures of Robbie when he is a happier camper hopefully later tonight. Enjoy some from Great America on Saturday.
Hi Tammie,
ReplyDeleteI am glad the surgery is over and everything went well. Tell Robbie we think he is very brave!
Thanks for the update. Look forward to hearing how Robbie is when he wakes up,
Simone
