Today is the day. Surgery is at noon ET.
While we were waiting to go to the OR.
We were allowed to go as far as the door to the Operating Room with him This was nice...and yet a tad stressful. Since it was a sterile environment back there, we had to dress up too!
They took him back right around 12:30 ET.
Surgery started at 1:22 ET.
He was in recovery by about 3:00 ET.
Dr. Garcia came and talked to us soon after he went to recovery. The surgery went well! They placed 3 bars. He said that 3 is the most he ever places. Most kids get 2.
By 3:30 we were in the recovery room with Thomas. He was very sleepy. He would wake up for seconds. When he was awake he said his chest hurt which is understandable.
We were put in a room around 4:30.
He really spent a lot of time that night of Day 0 sleeping.
He was not talking much because it hurt. He kept saying his chest hurt, but that was to be expected. We were told his pain is more from the chest muscles being in a different position than the bars they put in because he is still has his epidural.
