Day 1 - Surgery day again! Today is Mason's cleft palate repair surgery! The surgery is scheduled to begin at 11am an is expected to last 2-3 hrs. We will keep you all posted on his progress! :)....Mason is out of surgery and all went well! We will be able to see him in recovery room is a few minutes and then he will be moved to the IMC floor for the next day or two. Dr noticed that his tonsils are rather large and so he will be monitored closely for breathing issues. If he needs more room in his mouth, he will have to have his tonsils out before we will be discharged.
Day 2 - Mason is more alert and tolerating pain much better today! The swelling in is tongue has gone down quite a bit and the doctors are happy with his improvement thus far. They have removed the nose tube but are keeping the tongue stitch in for a little longer.
...Tongue stitch is out now and he has started drinking fluids from a cup. Dr is very happy with his progress. :) At this time the Dr has decided to not take out his tonsils b/c he is breathing very well on his own. If progress continues at this rate, we have a good chance of going home tomorrow! :)
Day 3 - HOME BOUND! Hooray!
