Hello everyone! Rob's surgery went well. He is all trached. He did not go in until 4 o'clock and got out at 4:45. He watched the clock all day waiting for them to come and get him. He didn't have a feeding tube, so he was really hungry. Rob was able to be on the computer and the internet today, but we were unable to write an update. Rob is now to the point that when a machine starts beeping.. he knows how to turn it off.
When we were going down to the operating room, Rob was being his own nurse. There was a special person to manually bag him into his breathing tube since the machine is electric, but Rob took it and started doing it himself. A doctor came out after surgery and said,"I have never seen a patient bag himself." And then before they gave him medicine to go asleep, Rob made sure to wave to every single person in the operating room before falling asleep. She was laughing pretty hard about that. She was impressed with his positive attitude and his cute personality. We all just said, "that's rob for you"
Rob is back in his room now in a little bit of pain, but don't worry.. they gave him some moriphine. He is hopefully sleeping right now. His feeding tube went back in, we're not sure when he will be able to eat. It depends on whether or not he can swallow. They should be looking into that tomorrow or the next day.
Thank you for all your comments. We love them all.
