We're back from his surgery! Everything went great and it seemed like a breeze compared to our last hospital stay:) The surgeon said that the cyst in Carsten's throat was about 3mm wide, which is pretty wide when you're talking about a person that already has a small airway due to Down Syndrome. He also took out both adenoids/tonsils and put tubes in both ears. When they brought him out to us he was sitting up in a hospital bed so out of it, it was so sad but cute!
Carsten was pretty fussy last night and we were reminded of how hard it is being in the hospital, we're very thankful to be home. Thanks for all your prayers, please continue to pray that he heals fast and we see significant improvement in his breathing/eating. We have already noticed that Carsten didn't gag up all his usual mucous/drainage today (sorry gross I know). I will try to feed him tomorrow and see how it goes, he needs to keep swallowing to get over the soreness.
Love to all,
