The morning started early for Toby, Dave and I. We left the house at 5:30am to head to the hospital for Toby's surgery. All the pre-admission stuff went well and Toby was a real trooper. He didn't even seem upset about not being allowed to eat or drink anything this morning. He played with us and was laughing as we chased each other around the halls waiting for the doctors. He looked very adorable in his little hospital gown. I'm sad I didn't get a picture of him in it before surgery. Toby was quite attached to Dave this morning (flashback to China) so Dave was the one to take him back to the operating room. Dave stayed with him until he was asleep. Now begins the long wait...
8:10am The ENT doctor came to let us know his part of the surgery was over and went well, albeit much longer than he had anticipated. Apparently Toby has very tiny ear canals and it was a bit of a challenge to place the tubes. Now they will begin the lip revision and then do his palate repair.
9:25 the nurse called us on the phone from the OR to let us know that Toby is doing well and the surgery is going as planned. They started his lip revision at about 8:45. It was good to hear an update and that he is doing well. I'll post again when I get another update or after surgery, whichever happens first.
Thank you for your prayers and support today.
