Well,Timmy had surgery Tuesday the 14th. He had a fistula-ectomy (sp?). The surgery went well, but he had complications with waking up. They had trouble taking out his breathing tube. He stopped breathing 4 times (actually he just held his breath for a long time). They had to give him meds to get him to relax his muscles. Turns out he has a mild case of tracheomalacia. That is a weakness and floppiness of the walls of the windpipe. They say he will grow out of it as he gets older. Needless to say, he stayed overnight in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at MaryBridge Hospital. By Tuesday night he was acting more like his happy self and Wednesday morning we were able to take him home. We have a follow up appointment on Monday the 27th with the pediatric surgeon.
