Phase 1 Complete

The first surgery for Grant is complete. We are back in the room with him and he's sleeping! If you thought he sounded raspy before when he was breathing, now he really does. Due to the stints in his nose, he is unable to breath through his nose so has to breath through his mouth. He is doing that successfully. We will be here overnight tonight and expect to get dismissed tomorrow (the doctor will come in first thing in the morning). There is definitely a new look about him. Here are some before and after pictures. First is Grant on Christmas Day --- then before surgery picture. Last 2 are both after surgery. Notice the cute shirt we were given after surgery (My operation was "bearable" at Children's Mercy Hospital). We're sure he'll enjoy that souvenir when he grows a little bigger! Thanks for all your prayers!!!
