Photos of Surgery/Recovery

I tried to take some pictures of Toby's recovery so we can talk about things with him as he grows up. Thought you might be interested in seeing his progression from surgery day to yesterday.

In the recovery room immediately following surgery. The black string attached to the side of his face is a tongue stitch. It goes through his tongue to keep his airway open in case of swelling. It was removed before we went up to the pediatric unit.


This picture was taken the morning after surgery. It was so nice to see him calm and not distressed when awake. He liked the idea of playing but not really up for it yet.
