Hi I don’t have any pictures. Camden came home from the hospital today. His surgery went well. We had a few surprises when he woke up. He was too relaxed when waking up from the anesthesia that a nurse had to hold his airway open for like an hour before he could breathe normally. Then when we got up to the room, he had some sort of reaction type thing to we don’t know what. He turned all red and blotchy. It went away as fast as it came though, puzzling all of us. Then we had to what they call Irrigating the nasal passages!!  You have to take a mixture of saline and antibiotic and put two bulb syringes for each nostril and let it run out his mouth!! He is so not willing to do that. They said if he doesn’t do it he will have to go back to the OR and do it that way. He said he thinks he would rather do that!!!!( and that was before we even tried) Not the answer surgeon was looking for! So we attempted it last night and it was a disaster, the nurse accidentally pressed the bulb to hard sending the mixture up his nose so fast that he pulled away sending the rest to spray all over. He said it was like shoving knives up his nose. The this morning , another nurse attempted it. She actually was very good and got him to put only 3 small squeezes up. So he hasn’t had a full dosage yet, so we will see what tonight brings with our next attempt. Overall he is doing OK. He is still sleepy though, and he is miserable looking. He says he feels fine though. Thanks for all of your prayers, they were definitely heard!!!
