Surgery was Yesterday

Zander had surgery to remove his tonsils and do a lot of other medical procedures. Jamie, Mom, and Zander got to the hospital at 6:30. There was a communication error at the hospital. Zander was supposed to be the first case. However, he was the third case They didn't take him back for surgery until 11:15. It was a very stressful morning for everyone. I had a difficult time being at home and not knowing what was going on. Dad and my sister, Melissa, tried to update me as much as possible.

From what I gathered after the procedures and surgery is that his tonsils were much worse than anyone thought. They were blocking his airway. The lung biopsy showed that the mucus like substance was not as thick as it was the last test. The lung doctor had put him on a different medicine I believe last week to help with the mucus. We should know the results of the biopsies this afternoon.

My Mom and Jamie spent the night at the hospital with Zander. He is in pediatric ICU. He has a feeding tube down the nose to make sure he gets nourishment. He will have it for up to 3 weeks. They were going to take shifts sleeping and sitting with him.

Thank you for all of the prayers.
