Yesterday Geoffrey and Brayden left for Chicago at 6 am. My mom and aunt Donna picked them up from the airport, then they were off for some yummy Chicago pizza at Lou Malnati's. They all took a nap once they got to the hotel and even got upgraded to a suite!
This morning they had to be at the hospital at 6 am, surgery was at 7:30 and lasted till 9:50. Dr. Bauer is such an amazing doctor and we are so lucky our son gets to be treated by such a talented doctor. It's hard for a mother or a father to put a child through all of this, but with Dr. Bauer on our side, I know everything will be ok. And what do you know, Brayden did great in surgery and now has been through 2 rounds of expanders! Dr. Bauer was happy with the results and he said they got more off the right side, since the expander was stretched out more. But he did get a lot of nevus cut off! Can't wait to see the results!
Today has been a hard day for my baby, he hasn't eaten anything yet, just liquids. He has been fussy off and on, but luckily napped some today, so that has helped. Just amazes me how strong he is and someday I will tell him all these stories about how strong he really is!
They will stay the night in the hospital, that way they have nurses on hand if they need anything. Tomorrow once they discharged they will stop at Dr. Bauer's office for the 1st dressing change and see the results! Please continue to pray for Brayden tonight that he has a peaceful night rest
Here is Brayden arriving to the hospital and watching his new Dinosaur movie
