Just got some shocking news....

was sitting in the corner, minding my own business, adding pictures to the site, when a nurse comes out to speak to another family and says, " your child is doing well, dr losse is starting to finish up." when she started to walk away dave looks @ her and says, which dr did you say? cause dr losse is in surgery with our son- the nurse looking completely shocked says ill be right back. She brings the charge nurse in and she begins to explain that the dr is working on both cases. Now, being a mother who is expecting a drs full and undivided attention while he is operating on my son, that didnt make me very happy. She went onto explain that things were happening in stages, I get that but I think things should have been explained a little better. I have a feeling when I am finished having my say then I bet things will be better for the next families sitting in our shoes.....

Update on Surgery

they took Isaiah back to surgery a few minutes after one. Dr. Simmon called a little after 2 to tell us that he cleaned and suctioned out his ears. Tubes are in place and working properly therefore there is no need to replace them. He did say there was alot of fluid and drainage, which we already new. Putting him on more meds and will follow up next week with ENT and frequently after that til we get them cleared up to prevent furthwer damage.

As for his palate repair, all we know is the anethisiologist said he would be in a great deal of pain afterward.

I think this time is was a little easier to let him go... I am so looking forward to all the things that this surgery could take care of. His eating should be easier with little being able to get out his nose. And course his ears. I cant wait til they stop draining!

Will post another update soon!
Thanks for your prayers.

Isaiah's second surgery

We got the call last week that Isaiah's surgery that was scheduled for 12-29 had to be rescheduled. The date was... 12-3.

Went to pittsburgh today. Met with dr. Lossee. (I really miss Dr. Jaing!) we were given some of the details of the surgery. We know that the surgery will last atleast 4 hours. We will find out wednesday what time surgery will be. The ENT dr came in and suctioned out his ears. That was horrible but he was a trooper. By the time we got home the were filled up again.

Tomorrow is picture day.. will post the results..
