Yesterday Matthew had surgery. We showed up at the hospital at about 9am and we were not sure if they were going to do surgery or not. They had to make sure that he could handle lying on his right side. (that is his big lung and "good" side) He tolerated it very well. So at about 10:30 the took him in for surgery. They started at about 11:30 and finished at about 5:30. He was a trooper through the whole thing. The nurse called us about every 1/2 hour with updates. He did really well and is still doing good. The incision is only about 2in wide. They made the incision on his left side under his arm pit area. It will heal and not even be noticeable in the future.
We have one more hurdle we have jumped, but we are still a long way from being in the clear. We have NO idea when he will be able to go home it is a one day at a time situation. The Dr's don't even try to guess or even give a timeline. They say they work in a very short time frame. (day to day) So everyday that is a good day is one day closer to getting him healthy and home.
I will keep you updated as I know more.
Love,
Jaime
