Surgery update

Well the surgery went as planned. Bodie did well and we went to see him after the surgery in the PICU.

He was swollen and unhappy. It was a long 48 hours and then the Doctors noticed a problem. The right side was not adjusting correctly. They had to go back in under anethesia and fix the problem. His skin was stretched so tight that it was holding the adjusters from moving. So they cut the skin/flesh so it could move where they needed it.

After a looooooooong eight days we were able to come home. Wade stayed with Paula because he had picked up a cold, (more on that later).

And now the pics...

Before: (He was as happy as can be)


After:









Finally starting to feel a little better:


Corinne even stopped by for a visit to cheer him up:






The jaw distractors will come of just before Christmas hopefully.

Wade came home sick from Paula's & despite our best efforts to keep him quarantined, Bodie got sick.

After a trip to the ER he's back home on antibiotics & improving slightly.

This has been a hard month on all of us so far.

  1. I'm so sorry you have had to go through all of this. It is hard to go through all those distractions. I am happy to hear he is somewhat better dispite the cold he got. Praying that little man is feeling better now that it has been a week.
