Caleb had his pre-op appointment this afternoon. We completed all of the registration paperwork and got the surgery day instructions. We have to arrive at the hospital at 5:30 Monday morning. I don't know what time the surgery is scheduled for, but my guess is sometime around 7:30-8:00. The surgery should take about four hours. It is an outpatient surgery, so we should be back home Monday afternoon/evening.
Caleb also has syndactyly on his left hand, and he'll have surgery on that hand sometime in early 2014.
Praying surgery goes well! I'm so glad he's feeling better!
ReplyDeleteHello! I saw your comment on one of my blog posts; I would have emailed you, but am not sure how to do that through here. My daughter, Charlotte, is 3 and also has Down syndrome and was born with a syndactyly on her left hand which she had separated when she was 9 months old. She has had an Av Canal and heart surgery at 4 months old (sounds like our kiddos have a lot in common!). The hardest part of the hand surgery was keeping her hand covered after the cast came off. We ended up sewing velcro on socks and onsie sleeves to keep the sock over it and keep her from pulling it off. Feel free to email me, and hang in there :) ecornell08@gmail.com
