Stage 3 Recovery

Jansen you continue to amaze us during all these surgeries. You are one strong little boy.

(Tuesday)

Recovery room...we had a long recovery this time around. We stayed over 2 hours, because he kept throwing up.

(Tuesday)
finally we are leaving the hospital. He continued to get sick all the way home and all night.

Wednesday Chris stayed home with Jansen and he continued to throw up and sleep. By 2:00, he started making a turn in the right direction. He ate and even wanted to go to baseball with Chris.

(Wednesday)
Paw Paw and Pat Pat came for a quick visit and even played a game with him.

I stayed home with him on Thursday and I can happily say he is back to his good old self. He hasn't had any pain this time around so far...The only problem he is having is his bottom is starting to itch from the skin graft and so is his ear.

looking out the window wishing I would let them go out and play.

(ear before surgery)

Dr. Jones said everything went well with the surgery. We will go back Monday for post-op and take the stitches out. We know his ear will stay swollen for a good year, but we are all excited for this journey to be over. If all heals well, we might try and do stage 4 in February.

Stage 3

my sweet little guy

We spoke to Dr. Jones this morning and everything is going well. They took him back about 10:00, and the surgery should last about 3 1/2 hours.
