Surgery tomorrow

So the waiting is almost over, but here starts that pit in my stomach.  I was at complete peace about this, but here it is the day before and I am wondering if "we should wait" or "maybe it will stretch enough so  he can eat properly" etc. My main concern is how he will do with this longer surgery. He has only had really short ones these passed 2 years. Im worried about his little lungs and hate that they have to go through more stress again. His body has been through so much and I just want it to all be over for him. I hate that his CDH scar has to be cut open again for the the 4th time, knowing that he will need to be cut on again for the 5th time someday in his future. I know I have to take one day at a time but you cant help thinking these things. I do this every time. He has actually been getting a little bit of food down in the last few days, but he has done that before too.  Ugh. Anyhow, surgery is on and I will call tonight for a time.

I have to return heart monitor. The 30 days are over and he only dropped (super low) once. I am not even sure if I was able to record it properly, but hopefully I was able to get the tail end. Like I said before, when he is startled his heart rate goes back up quickly. So, basically all that has come out of this odd heart issue is me worried when he goes into really deep sleep, therefore Camden being back on a pulse ox every night. Again. =/ He has done this dropping before 3 times in a week, 3 times in a month, and then once this month. So, I don't know when he is going to do it but I do know that is scares me to death when he does. So, back on pulse ox. His O2 sats have been a little off as well, so I need to watch those anyway....but that is another story for another day.

He is looking fuller and healthier with the blended diet. Pain in the butt sometimes with clogging and getting the consistency just right and sometimes we are both wearing it, but it is working for him! =)

So if you come across this blog post today, please say a prayer for my little man! Thank you so very much....

  1. Praying for a smooth surgery for Camden, which finally works and allows him to eat with peace and ease!!! I am also praying for a good recovery.
