Got back to the room about 20 min ago and Robbie is doing great. He is complaining and not happy about the head wrapping but he has downed a cup of apple juice and is eating gold fish crackers and pretzels. I think thats not bad considering he just woke up in the OR less than 1 hour ago. Dr Reinisch removed the medpor, and sewed the skin together. He said things should heal pretty fast and that our thoughts of a March surgery should be fine. We went over all our questions and Dr Reinisch spent alot of time chatting with us which put our minds at ease and made us just love the guy even more. Dr Roberson looked the canal over and I am assuming eveything looked good in there. The only report back on the inside is that there is still a hole inside but it should heal up now that the medpor is out. I feel both relieved and hopeful today. Relieved that I no longer have to put bandaids over Robbies exposure and hopeful because after talking to Reinisch about the surgery to come I feel pretty sure things will end up ok.
We are going to rest Robbie most of the day but our plans are a nice dinner and a trip to Toys R Us. I am sure the toy store trip will be reminded to us at any time. We used it as bribery to get him to take the relazing meds.
