Drain Tubes Out

The removal of the tubes went very well. Actually the stomach pain tube already came out on its own this morning so that wasnt a problem. The two drain tubes came out easy and made Robbie cry but not much. Dr Reinisch put some novacain in before he took them out. We told Reinisch about the drainage coming from the cup area so he took off the cap and looked around and cleaned him a bit. Everything seemed fine so he only changed the dressing on the stitch line of where the membrane was taken. We got to take a peek at his new hair cut, which is a military shave. We talked a bit before we left and Reinisch again told us that he did not see any hair in the canal which is great news.

Since Robbies seemed to be in a good mood we headed for the first Target in sight. It was so nice seeing him happy and sitting there in the cart with a big bag of popcorn on one side and a large icee on the other. While I was doing my shopping theropy Robbie told me, "Mom, your so beautiful" and at that momment I knew my charming little guy was feeling good. :)

We will have some R & R for the next couple days here at aunt Chrissys in Huntington Beach and Tom and Trevor will leave for home this weekend. We will take Robbie back to Disneyland next week and do slow rides. Our dressing change is next Thursday and then we are off to LAX for Robbie and Briannas first plane ride to go home.
